What a wonderfully creative world we live in. I would have been so excited to spy this myself, truly. Mother Nature is Awesome, and cooperative, and I think many animals, (my cat and the neighborhood fox, for example) have an agreement. A turn taking, cooperative agreement. I suspect my cat and dog have this agreement as well, when we aren’t around.

Thank you for sharing this story and this intriguing photograph!

This seems to presume that the frog has any idea he’s standing on a turtle and not a rock, that the spider thinks that frog’s lending a helping hand rather than having just clung to what seemed like the highest ground, and a handful of other anthropomorphisms. It’s a cool pic, but it seems like, with millions of pool filters and millions of storms and millions of bloggers, this had to happen eventually.

They were all trapped in a filter the size of a shoebox. The issue wasn’t that they couldn’t swim, it was that they were presumably trying to escape from being slammed around by the pool water going in and out during almost a week of storms. How they ended up on top of each other is obviously up to speculation. Not sure why you’d assume I have the free time or interest to Photoshop or stage something like this that I don’t benefit from.

Its also kind of funny how the food chain is stacked. frogs eat insects, turtles eat frogs, and humans eat turtles

Call me Mr. sourpuss, but since when did a FROG need saving from drowning – it’s an amphibian.

This is either shopped or staged. And it’s a TORTOISE. If it was a turtle it would be even more ridiculous. Why not throw a water spider in there and make it a complete joke?
