MISKOLC, HUNGARY - UNDATED: A European Tree Frog jumps onto a washing line mistaking it for a branch, the frog hung on for five minutes trying to right itself in Miskolc, Hungary.While Spiderman is known as the Webbed Wonder this daredevil amphibian could be nicknamed the Web-footed Wonder. More TRAPEZE frog than tree frog, the critter clung desperately to a washing line for five minutes after accidentally mistking it's target for a tree branch. Amateur photographer Veronika Lénárth, 28, from Miskolc, Hungary, got a surprise when she noticed the European Tree Frog dangling from her back garden washing line ad started taking snaps of the rare moment. One picture shows the determined croaker hanging two meters above the ground from just one arm - like a musclebound gym-goer doing a chin-up. Another shows it comically hauling itself up with both arms and legs. Veronika, who eventually rescued the frog after realising it wouldn't make it all the way to the end of the line, said: "These frogs love to climb but not normally such a thin string.We thought it had been trying to escape a predators or jumped to catch some food and ended up in a pickle. He made a very heroic struggle that was quite amusing before we decided to lend a hand."PHOTOGRAPH BY VERONIKA LENARTH / BARCROFT MEDIA LTDUK Office, London.
