Snopes says it’s “Mostly true” in that they don’t know the origins of the color photo but the black and white one is authentic: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/frog-eyes-inside-mouth/

      maybe their mouth is so open so often that this is more effective for them.

    Well that’s one way to watch what you eat.

    Quoting the article:

    Most anurans retract and close their eyes repeatedly during swallowing. Eye retraction may aid swallowing by helping to push food back toward the esophagus.

    That’s about normal frogs, not the mutated ones. They use their eye balls to push food down their throats.

    What. the. fuck. What a terrible day to be literate.

      My God. If wind hits my eyes it hurts. Can’t imagine them hitting against a steak. And the jarring effect on vision. Why? Why do this?

        OP tried to clarify but seems didn’t clarify enough: that’s talking about normal frogs with normal eyes, they use the back side of the eyes to push down food, presumably it doesn’t feel any worse for them than you poking the side of your eye through the eyelid.

    They must keep their mouths open more than normal frogs just so they can see. Poor creatures.
