S5 E10 Sep 17, 2021 25m
The male Japanese stream frog sports some surprising sumo and wrestling moves. But watch this Prince Charming's way with the ladies. During mating season, he'll clutch a female in a vice-like grip and ride piggyback as she makes her way toward the spawning grounds. But it's no pleasure cruise. The long river route is full of fast-flowing rocky turns and waterfalls. No matter the hazard, he will not let go. But a new threat awaits: the bevy of anxious bachelors who don't accept no for an answer!
