Hand-Feeding My African Clawed Frog

This video was shot at 320×240 resolution, 60 FPS on a Canon S3 digital camera.

African clawed frogs are ravenous creatures which resemble deranged muppets. They instinctively stuff as much food into their mouths as they can whenever they can, as they have a very short season to feed in their native land.

The music is 31 Ghosts IV by Nine Inch Nails, which is a sequel of sorts to “Just Like You Imagined,” the track featured in the 300 trailer. The complete Ghosts I-IV collection – 111 minutes of instrumental compositions – is available for download for $5 from Amazon.com.
