  • and it wanted to challenge me in a three sticks game ...lol . you win frog !

  • watch?v=Qz_033P7KPM

  • looks bipedal to me

  • 0:12 hi, i'm bob! i'm a frog who's being filmed jumping, yay!

  • Their muscles are more flexible than ours! A bullfrog can jump 10 times its own length! I love frogs!

  • @MBW4449 The Australian rocket frog (called Litoria nasuta) can jump 50 times it's own length.

  • @erzan no one cares!!!

  • cool frog jump

  • I once I had a frog in my backyard. Don't know how the hell it got there.

  • haha. frogs are so chilll..

  • Good thinking, though subject is kinda light, don't you think?

    I think it could have been more interesting getting to know if "Frogs fly blind and/or why do they close their eyes when jumping? thanks

  • some of these are toads, we've been cheated.

  • Comment removed

  • thank goodness we can finally rule out fart propulsion as one of their secrets

  • Awesome reference, this is pure gold for animators.

  • @gecko303 yep, I'm animating a frog right now

  • SHIT. yor kidding me, i though they didnt move there muscles and just levetated magically, talk about learning something new everyday. huh!?

  • What kind of frog is at 0:23 ???

  • @CoolHorses27 northern leopard frog, i see alot of them

  • you'd think that nat geo would be able to tell the difference between "frog" and toad.

  • This is making me hungry

  • Making me hungry

  • The second jump was a toad.

  • what about cats!?!

  • is this where our charity money goes? This is way too analyzed. they use their fucking legs duh!

  • wow, but we can't stop the oil leak, wtf

  • because finding the secret to frog jumps is vitally important to human survival

  • Now let's teach humans to stretch their legs like this when they jump.

  • Omg...THEY JUMP WITH THEIR LEGS!!!!

  • @TostedAlmond ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TostedAlmond r u being sacastic

  • hmm so thats how kobe got his hops he ate a fuck load of frogs

  • no different than a black man jumping

  • This is such bulllshittttt, what a stupid experiment who gives a shitt

  • They're not breaking any laws of physics. Just exploiting already existing ones.

  • @DarkKnightBob1o1 just like you exploited your niece by shooting nude videos of her while she was in the bath tub

  • Frogs are badass.

    Lol i just remembered that im dissecting one tomorrow :0

  • i like frogs

  • sick they can jump

  • Waste of time

  • @TheCasey123123

    You didn't have to click on that thumbnail, just sayin

  • @TheCasey123123 and grant money

  • Has anyone studied why frogs jump and why some further than others?

  • WTF is a toad doing in there?

  • I wonder where they go...

  • this is SIIIIIICCCCKKKK!!!!! YEAA!!!

  • pointless

  • @afterburner909 totaly agree

  • @afterburner909 definetly

  • @afterburner909

    Are you stupid? If they can replicate shit like this in mechanical form, they could find more extreme and efficient ways of doing things. Ripple effect, man, ripple.

  • @capsule56 all the video really said that was anything new was that their muscles are stretchy and that's what helps them. The slow motion bit was completely unnecessary. You can watch them at normal speed or just take a look at their legs to know how they jump. --This is "science lite"--

  • @afterburner909: Do tell.

  • @zinzeta Do die.

  • @afterburner909 Ladies first.

  • @afterburner909 its not,it looks awesome!

  • @afterburner909 false

  • it just needs some music then its EPIC!!

  • did anyone notice that when they prepare to jump the frogs close their eyes? why?

  • @comoka1 so they dont see the faceplant that's about to happen.

  • does anyone remember Zits from Battletoads?

  • 2:11 Frog: "Rape!"

  • this image sequence go as slow as the thinking ability of the researchers that made this crap

  • I think we should stick some electronic probes into a researchers spine and make them jump!

  • #FAIL

  • @sawilliams

    Hippy?

  • This is pretty sweet. The practical senses are far off but I can see this sort of study being useful. Think of all the mechanisms that are already modeled after the genius of mother nature. Perhaps a space suite designed for quick, man powered transportation could one day come from this tiny study on frogs.

  • great... now what?

  • @ILLiant now we must learn to jump like a frog

  • The Game.

  • How is this hard to figure lol.

  • @AfroN1nj4 scientists want to make it seem that they aren't doing anything lol, they dont have anything to do

  • SNOR....

  • I ran over a frog once on accident, i felt bad. It literally popped, like a balloon or something.

  • That frog is ripped!

  • @larlar752000 LOL

  • Earth is amazing. Nature is far advanced than our own technology.

  • i'm a frog

  • @ahamster2012 im lebron james

  • @ahamster2012 don't tell we was already knew that :D

  • when they say stretch them before they jump do they mean like flex them or something?

  • wow, thank you urostyle! without that bone they wouldn't be able to hop :P

    & FOR ALL THE FASHIONISTAS OUT THERE, CHECK OUT THIS BLOG!

    Just go to stayflyon10 @ blogspot

  • i love this

  • DO NOT WATCH

    watch?v=Hyd-nXJscM0

  • Frogs have abs haha. we were cutting open frogs in biology and they are ripped. They have abs and really muscular legs. it is insane/

    +

  • interesting

  • ...so frogs jump by extending their bodies...no shit brown..no shit

  • Frogs are wonderfull.........frog legs are tasty as well.

  • I always thought frogs jumped using their tongues. They'ed stick it to something and pull them selves forwards. Thank god for science.

  • @LuckEnducedDeath lollll wtfff how old aare u ?? its rhetorical

  • @LuckEnducedDeath

    You are a fucking dumb ass

  • @LuckEnducedDeath are u retard ??

  • frogs will be extincted in a few years if human pollution doesnt change.

    on a little bit unrelated topic; 1 out of 6 american adults has elevated levels of heavy metals in their body. as many as 1-3 in my generation will die of cancer. autism and autoimune diseases are blooming. dont stay quiet just because the media is.

    pollution is not synonymus with global warming. educate yourself.

  • @peter17dude yeah maybe you should learn your grammar first before you start posting about how people are uneducated. "frogs will be extincted" nice one man

  • @jeffuwee maybe in not english or american?

  • what the fudge?!?!?!?!

  • Instead of spending money on these studies , why don't they help feed the kids dying of hunger everyday?

  • @hiran612 what are you doing about kids dying of hunger? oh yeah thats right, nothing.

  • @hiran612 they help society, since studying muscles in frogs may allow the knowledge to transfer to human muscles, and who knows what we can do with that.

  • @ilikemike987 Oh well maybe that's what they want you to believe , you got a bullet in your head.

  • @hiran612 so you think we got all the technology we have now, thats helpign millions of people, by investing all our money into feeding poor children?

    I'm not saying thats a bad thing, but investing in science might be better for the poor starving children than just feeding them, just like educating a child on how to make a living is better than just giving him food and shelter for the rest of his life

  • @ilikemike987 -The technology to cut down on starving children exists, but access and education are needed. This high-tech device is called a CONDOM!

  • @hiran612 I am sure you do all you can too to help and dont enjoy luxuries like the computer you wrote that comment from. science is important so hush

  • @jonathanstriepen you know nothing about me or what i do so you hush and make a difference in this world. ps i would never hush

  • @hiran612 Instead of spending time on Youtube, why don't you go help out in charity? You'd rather preach though, so let me let you do that:)

  • @hiran612 no shit!!

  • i think the lesson to be learned is that frogs are actually black.... you should study lebron james insted.

  • Why do they close their eyes when they're about to jump? lol

  • @MikeUlo777 I think it's so no predator can hurt/blind them when attacking. lol, I dunno. I know sharks do that

  • Time to apply these discoveries to warfare... I want an army of frog mech warriors within 10 years

  • Kind of like those things in Metal Gear Solid 4, lol. Look it up if you don't know what it is, it's awesome.

  • this did not contributed to my happiness... i'm sorry i know a lot of people would find this fascinating

  • GAMMABUNTA~!

  • @eyesack9 haha :)) true!

  • I really wanna eat its legs with some hot sauce !!!

  • thats so f***ing great now we know how frogs jump

  • I like how all the frogs close their eyes. :) Makes it cuter to watch! :D

  • @Snugglepops Imagine you jumped right with your eye into a fat fly when you pounce up. That'd make it mighty inconvenient.

  • go to my channel and watch my skycoaster video :)

    its pretty awesome

  • what's the point?

  • @papaduck91 people like you have handicapped our progress for hundreds of years. please extinct yourself!

  • @imfrommanndame it's beautiful, in a sense, but how we would use this research to help anyone? I just don't get it

  • those frog legs look yummy

  • @tingly7654321 yuck!  :s

  • @tingly7654321 lol u most be french

  • this was the most BS thing ive ever seen on here

  • kool! come check my vid!

  • test

  • .....and what's the fucking point of this besides wasting money on fancy cameras and frog tech?

    Are they trying to make the NBA more enjoyable to watch? If so, then continue researching!! The NBA sucks and needs some fucking upgrades.... I'd suggest killing the refs, but whatevs.

  • 500 FPS??? NO FUCKING WAY.... Then they slowed it down even further.

    There's no way that's 500 FPS.

    That looks more like 1200 -2000 fps, so they slowed that shit down.

  • 1:23 'implanted sensors and electrodes'

    haha they just taped some shit to its back with a chord on it

  • frogs are cool don't get me wrong but this video sucks donkey butt.

  • Aw, this reminds me of The Princess and the Frog haha

  • i hate advertisements

  • M. Azizi, either Iranian or Pakistani FTW!

  • With genetics now days we could give that trait, stretchy super-flexing muscles, to any animal we think it would benefit.. We have goats that are genetically altered, to produce a spider-silk like chemical, to use in revolutionizing bullet-proof vests..

    Take some biology classes, learn something...

  • wow thats beast lil things got more hops than an average human

  • Frogs are so cute!

  • and this helps us in what way again?

  • Thank God we finally understand how frog's jump, as this is the most important issue in today's society

  • @ZACHY12992

    Here, retard:

    "The team found that the frogs can use their very stretchy muscles to create energy to jump up to more than ten times their length."

    This could help in the future.

  • i wish i were frog

  • frogs are badass

  • hey i Bet YOU CANT find the HIDDEN message on my CHANNEL!!!!!

  • 0:34 watching LOST

  • I AM 12 AND WAT IS THIS?

  • @brysi lol nice brysi

  • @richeyfilms =c) I C U THAR!! =c)

  • عاش عزيزي

    شكله واصل في مجال الضفادع

  • speak english bitch cuz ur terorist language sucks ur muslim dick

  • @wadeNYC1

    Another racist misinformed about Islam !!!

  • @r0rozx أشكرك على ردك

    ههههههههههههههههههههههههههه

    وعندك كل الحق في ما قلته

  • @wadeNYC1 instead of spreading the hate,,, why don't you google islam and get a little info about this great religion..

  • They are testing on the Frogs on their Jumping ability and escaping..! want to make it use for Many other Human Frogs, who stay in their Own little country (like a Frog in the Well) and thought the outside world people are nothing to them and their fucking history.....! :)

  • boooring... who cares bout frogs anyways instead of this they should be lookin to cure aids and other important stuff.

  • @jareddelairlande Dude once you get aids you get aids.... Your done

  • Frogs have nothing on flees as far as jumping ability goes.

  • they just understood this now? I knew all about frogs and their muscles 15years ago without speedcam

  • what use is this for?

  • @NzNexus2 theyre trying to replace human legs with frog legs.

  • i like pie

  • @bigbangAT loquacious

  • Look at their eyes as they jump, xD

  • pshh they're wrong, its frog steroids.

  • erorr they .....vWv.youtube.c0m/ user/THEKINGOFMW2HD

  • what the fuck??? this is fucking stupid, studying  frogs jumps? stupid science, so after all science is stupid too, lol
