Weird sound that a frog can make

[IrisWoods]

Hi. Something strange happened a few years ago, when I moved to a rural area and was telling my nephew how much I loved frogs. My nephew took it upon himself to catch a large one in a net to show me, and foolishly I did not stop him. The frog (I think it was a bull frog) got it's toe caught in the net, and it let out the most extraordinary wail--just like a large wounded mammal or person--not at all like a frog. It was a very loud, resonant, rich, sustained cry, and I immediately felt dreadful that I had not stopped my nephew from bothering the poor creature. It sounded for all the world like there was a person or big cat inside that frog. I can see how the frog-to-prince fairy tale might have gotten started. Ever since then, when I see a large frog, I cannot help but think that there must be another creature or person inside of it.
