I conducted an experiment similar to the one in another video picture Fights between a Kajika frog and a speaker: playback experiment 1. Playback of an advertisement call was broadcasted from a speaker. A frog made aggressive calls in reply. There were exchanges of calls between the frog and the speaker. In the picture, the frog is approaching the speaker. It is paying no attention to the dummy frog. The exchange of calls lasted for more than four minutes. The frog seemed to have lost finally and went away. (translated by Asoh)
