The purpose of a home garden is to provide comfort and enjoyment. It’s a spot where we can relax with family while growing lovely flowers and vegetables all year.

One man, on the other hand, has questioned the whole definition of a garden by converting his own into a haven for his army of amphibians.

Experts have expressed grave alarm over a man who claimed to have produced an army of frogs in his yard in a series of TikTok videos.

After releasing a series of videos narrating his story of saving frogspawn and rearing them as his personal army, the man, who has over 1.9 million followers on TikTok, went viral.

The TikTok account @thinfrog receives millions of views every day as viewers have grown involved in watching the frogs. After saving a big bunch of frogspawn, the uploader claims he raised his regiment of over 1.4 million after documenting their maturation from tadpoles to frogs.

Here is a link to the video.

While many have praised his attempts to protect the vast group of amphibians, scientists have warned that widespread breeding of frogs can have severe implications for the nearby environment.

In an interview with Metro, a marine biologist cautioned that mass breeding a huge number of frogs in the same spot can have an impact on the local environment.

“It is unquestionably bad for the ecosystem to breed so many frogs. It can result in an inflow of frogs that would not ordinarily live in this habitat, which can have negative consequences such as the discharge of too many predators of diverse insect species without regard for natural boundaries “he said. 

“This, in turn, reduces the quantity of insects, which can have a detrimental influence on vital processes like pollination, which guarantees that food plants grow and thrive,” he said.

According to the scientist, the region may soon require the finest management to destroy the frog army.

Some TikTokers, however, claimed the videos on @thinfrog were fraudulent after noticing that some of the graphics were taken from previous frog recordings.
