Nothing at all, it's called forced perspective. Hold the frog close to the camera with the person further back and Viola, giant frog!

A spokesman for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department told the Houston Chronicle that the photo is real and not photoshopped. However, the spokesman said the picture is a little misleading.

"It's not as bigly as it appears," spokesman Steve Lightfoot said. "[It's an] optical illusion created by extending frog toward the camera – similar to what you see with fishermen holding up fish to make them appear larger. Still a big bullfrog, though."



Sounds like a tremendously uuuge frog...

They are so big it might be light eating wild turkey legs, a little too tough to enjoy.

[Dr. Evil]

Are those dreadlocks on that frog?? LOL

Agree. Shot several one day last summer, and the biggest ones had the toughest meat. The medium sized shooter frogs were much better.

Also, 13 pounds seems like quite a stretch. Perhaps, it was supposed to be 1.3 pounds. The Goliath Frogs in Africa, which are the world's largest, max out under 8 pounds. Makes for a good story, though.

I thought the same thing.

And, 13 pounds is one heck of a big frog! Even TPWD confirmed it was real. The photo is misleading, but it is still a very big frog!

Like so many peeps do with their deer. Silly how bad it is sometimes.
This pic looks very photoshopped.
