Frog found alive encased in a stone!  |
| |
|  On 8 May 1733, when the master builder Johan Gråberg went to inspect the quarry of Wamlingebo (now Vamlingbo) in Sweden, two of the quarrymen came running up from the excavation in a most excited state. While cutting large blocks of sandstone more than 10ft (3m) below the surface, one of them had discovered a large frog sitting in the middle of a sizeable boulder he had just cut in two with his hammer and wedge. Gråberg followed the workmen .....

I am wondering, how this is possible. Don't rocks take thousands of years to form and how did that frog get caught up in there? And how can he still be alive, without food and water and, well air.

| |  That is intresting and very rare. The thing to rememberthat frogs hybernate in the winter so maybe he was hybernating all this time. Who knows anything is possible in this case.

| | Well the point of the story is, how did the frogs survive that long and how did they get into the stone. | | | |

| |  I agree with you. There is no way this frog could possibly survive incased in rock. More than likely these guys were pulling a prank on their boss and it got out of hand. Wouldn't be surprised if they posted a article saying that it was all a hoax.

| |  I really find this one hard to believe.
I don't see how that frog could possibly be alive after all that time. It would have died from no water..if not no food. I'm not sure about frogs and air.
I wouldn't be surprised to find this is a hoax.
