A peaceful pond, a morning walk, and a horror scene no one expected: toads swelling, twitching, and then bursting along the water’s edge. We follow the 2005 Hamburg mystery from sensational headlines to a grounded, unsettling explanation that blends animal intelligence with fragile biology. What begins as a “Frog Plague” turns into a forensic journey through missing organs, precise wounds, and a defensive reflex gone catastrophically wrong.
If this curious detour hooked you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves a good mystery, and leave a review, then tell us: do you buy the crow theory?
