Watch this Cowboy Frog have fun riding a Beetle

Cowboy Frog has his own little rodeo after it decides to have fun riding a flying beetle as it displays his skills as a flying frog riding his tamed beetle friend just like in the movie how to train your dragon

How to train your Beetle (Flying frog version)

Well it looks like Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks Animation are not only changing and inspiring the lives of young kids but wildlife animals as well, especially with movies like Toy Story and how to train your dragon.

Talking of cowboys and riding flying creatures, a reinwardt flying frog took on the challenge of flying a huge beetle like a cowboy as it flew around on the beetle.

Meanwhile the local photographer Hendy Mp captured the adventure of the flying frog atop the black beetle near his house in Sambas, Kalimantan Barat in Indonesia.

The green and orange cowboy frog is called the reinwardt's flying frog and is a native to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand and is classed as a near threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

Despite being nearly extinct the flying frog seems to be enjoying his life riding around on other insects and thanks to local photographer Hendy Mp we have come to witness the beautiful adventure of the little frog.

The green and orange reinwardt's flying frog can be seen meeting with the black beetle on a tree, admiring the beetle's ability to fly and asks if he can ride on him for a while.

To which beetle thinks for a while before granting the frog the permission to sit and ride on his back.

Upon getting the female beetle's permission to ride on her back, the reinwardt flying frog immediately jumps on her back adjusting comfortably on top of her,

Just like a excited cowboy who is about to ride a bull with only difference that it would be enjoying the flight on a beetle.

After comfortably adjusting himself on top of the black beetle the frog can be seen leaping forward and grabbing the beetle's antenna to help navigate where it wants to go and as well as to keep hold of itself in midair just like flying dragons in the movie "How to Train your Dragon".

Most amazing thing about this green and orange cowboy frog trying to have fun flying a beetle was that the frog actually had a glimpse at the camera and flashed a huge smile showcasing how excited it was about his little rodeo in midair.

And finally came the moment when the daring frog went flying with the beetle as he screamed Yee-haw! just like a cowboy flying in the midair for about five minutes. It even put his front leg in the air just like a cowboy would do while riding a bull which made it look like a cowboy frog riding a beetle having fun of his life in a little wildlife rodeo.

Meanwhile the beetle was happy to fly with someone for a change and of making their wish of flying come true as the frog navigated midair like a cowboy pilot riding a gentle bull beetle.

After riding for 5 minutes the reinwardt flying frog jumped off the beetle and hopped back to the trees to tell it's fellow frogs about his mini flying adventures and how befitting the name flying frog fits him, may be the frog will even switch to internet to check on his photos published in this article and start the trend of riding beetles and frogboy rodeos. :D

How do Flying and Gliding Frogs Fly

These reinwardt's flying frogs are commonly known as the black webbed tree frog or the green flying frog that have long toes with strong webbing between them.

This enables these animals to transition their fall into a gliding motion and thus referred to as flying frogs. They are known to lay their eggs in aerial foam nests which upon hatching in the form of tadpoles drop in to the water under the nest and complete their development there.
