"When was the last time you saw a frog? Perhaps you came across one in your
garden and wondered at its little hands, glossy skin and what looked very much
like a contented smile.
Maybe you regularly see them on Instagram or TikTok, where “frog accounts” have
proliferated in recent years. People share adorable cartoon frogs, coo over
crocheted frogs or go gaga for frogs dressed in cute hats.
In fact, our fascination with frogs isn’t new. As our research has found, the
history of human-frog relations is long and complicated – and not all of it is
nice."
