Oh, yeah.
A UK-based TikTok teen claims to have collected more than 1.4 million frog eggs, which have since hatched inside their backyard pool, and are horrified by the potential consequences of the trend going global.
The user, who goes by the name thinFrog, said in a recent video that he wanted to make the largest frog army in history. A giant pond will be created for ten million frog.
The large mass of small frog took over the TikToker's and their neighbor's yard before spreading across the neighborhood.
The Center for Biological Diversity is an Arizona-based nonprofit. TikTok users are actually hurting the animals they're releasing and the environment that they're releasing them into, which is a bad thing.
It isn't new. A user decided to play God by releasing 100 million ladybugs in Central Park, before claiming he was hit with a lawsuit and fled the country.
Experts aren't thrilled by teens wreaking havoc with delicate natural ecosystems, especially if they start to catch on. Other users in the comment section ask accounts like thin Frog how to start their own army.
Dawood Qureshi told Metro that "breeding that many frog is definitely not good for the environment, it could limit the number of insects, which could have a negative impact on pollination."
The TikTok users are interested in seeing the views. Thin Frog has brought in tens of millions of views with just a single video on the video-sharing platform.
Curry told The Guardian that that could end up being a negative consequence.
Nature has the power to decide which frog gets to live or die.
Experts warn about the dangers of the TikTok Frog army stunt.
Florida officials were alarmed by the invasion of giant snails that could cause meningitis.
