Frog Love

Frog Love
Sometimes humans make a choice that seems to make no sense at all when it comes to love...but hey, we are not the only ones ;)
In a recent experiment, when female tungara frogs had a choice between two males, they chose the one with the best call. But, when a third frog with a clearly inferior call was introduced to the mix, the females chose the frog with the second best call. This strange phenomenon is known as the decoy effect.
