As evening approaches, an age-old ritual unfolds. It's the mating season and male paddy frogs are competing for the attention of the females.
當薄暮降臨，另一場古老的儀式上演了。現在是交配的季節，雄禾田蛙們為了吸引異性而賣力高鳴。
But it doesn't always pay to draw too much attention to yourself.
但這并非總能為你吸引來關注的目光。
The Chinese Pond Heron is a pitiless predator. Even in the middle of a ploughed paddy field, nature is red in beak and claw.
中國池鷺是個殘忍的掠食者，就算在耕作過的稻田中央也會上演喙與爪的血腥劇目。
This may look like a slaughter but as each heron can swallow only one frog at a time, the vast majority will escape to croak another day.
或許這看上去像一場屠殺。但每只池鷺一次只能吞噬一只蛙，剩余的多數田蛙得以逃生并獲得了明日再度高歌的機會。
