    Nah I reckon that was a post-pouring splat I think, à la the Chicago Rat Hole.

      How do you figure, dropped by a bird maybe? There’s no obvious disturbance around it, so it’s a fairly sure bet the frog was dead when it ended up there.

          Only things we can glean from that article is that some people think it was a squirrel that fell from a since-removed tree and other than that, no one knows the circumstances, so I think we can still draw the same conclusion!

          Living things move, dead things don’t, in the main.

            It’s entirely possible that the concrete was dry enough that only a fall from height could cause the imprint, as well as the fact that any very small footprints (that’s a really small frog) were already weathered away. I think if it had died there, that more evidence of that would persist.

            Edit: The resolution is also bad enough that any small footprints may be missed.
