A video of frogs changing their colour to yellow during the monsoons is going viral on the internet. The large group of bullfrogs from Madhya Pradesh change the colour in order to attract female frogs. The video was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan on Twitter.
He wrote:

The colour of these bullfrogs is not so bright yellow but they change their colour during the breeding season to attract their mates.
