A female hopped up tentatively and another male bullfrog, Hopper, came out of the reeds to mount her. Leaper roared and threw himself at his rival. They banged up against each other. The other frog was smaller, but Leaper's bad leg made it an even match. After one crashing blow, Leaper's hand fell on a short length of reed. He picked it up and used it to balance himself. This time he over-powered his smaller rival. The other frog fled while Leaper mounted the female.

Leaper won battle ...
