While many narrated similar experience of frog sitings, others showed their amusement. One user wrote, "’d seen one in Jaipur and had suspected it had something to do with the monsoon, the breeding season. Thanks for making it clear" while another wrote, "What the hell! So many? These coloured frogs may be venomous as well!" Yet another comment read, "Yes, this is a natural phenomenon as these frogs undergo hibernation during winter before summer to protect themselves and reappeared at monsoon first rainfall that's the reason for their yellow color skin.... You will find this in every village during first monsoon rain."
