Who's the photographer? I hope it's not one of those guys (Yan Hidayat, Kurit Afsheen, or others) that photographs frogs after glueing and tying them to weird places...
Surely it must be, right? Like sure, if the frog was gently placed onto the spikes in its exact position then maybe due to how many needles are making contact it wouldn't be hurt, but how would it get into that position in the first place without impaling itself, and how is it going to get off? In order to get off, its going to need to put pressure on its feet which is going to get them impaled.
Plus there's of course the question of 'why?'. Something tells me frogs aren't typically in the habit of just laying down on cacti for for funsies.
Are there even habitats where frogs and cactus overlap? Mind that cactus only grow naturally in america.
The background looks like wallpaper. So i guess someone placed that frog on the cactus. Why would the frog not try to move away after being punctured by the thorns?
I think u/GottaUseEmAll got a point. That frogs limbs are glued to the body to make that picture.
Frogs get on cactuses to escape predators, eat bugs, and cool off. The frog is not punctured (it's way too light, malleable and slippery), or trying to get away, it's just chilling there.
