Yep. But most likely the "ribbit" sound was produce by a male frog and used this call when he senses another frog near him which is likely to be a female.
Meaning, it's a call for MATING...
From your friendly earthling..:D

Kat, Rod and Coy hope this doesn't come as a shock to either of you but there are other English speaking countries besides America. Frogs in Australia also make the 'ribbit" sound and I am sure the same sound is repeated in England, New Zealand, etc. but I digress.
NOLDZKI I hope you get to go home this Christmas
Rod and Kat, peace

And those who object to using Jehovah (because there's no "J") in the Hebrew Scriptures don't say a thing about the Books of Joshua, Judges, Job, Jeremiah, Joel or the names of men such as Jesse, Jacob, the list goes on. Not a single word opposing those names beginning with a "J". Why is that? Could there be some bias going on with some folks? Hard to believe, I know, but it does seem that way. Jehovah has been used as an acceptable pronunciation for hundreds of years. We know that no one knows the absolute correct way to pronounce the divine name, but trying pleases Him too. This is the name we have, the name we use. Someone said Jesus didn't speak Hebrew. If that was the case, how could he sit in the temples and read the ancient scrolls. Jesus was a Jew, and he did, in fact, know the Hebrew language.

Yes. When you think of it......the "American" frog doesn't have to open it's mouth to say ribbit while the "Pinoy" frog must pronounce it clearly. Maybe "Pinoy" frogs are more articulate. lol
