Frog suicide?

Factual Questions
1

I live in Queensland, Australia. As most of you probably know, it’s been pouring here. (Though, luckily, where I live hasn’t flooded…yet.)

With all this rain, the frogs have been out in droves. I used to go years without seeing them (not including those bloody cane toads) and now, I can see 5 frogs in a day!

Well, yesterday, I looked out my window, and there was a massive green tree frog, sitting on top of the netting covering our tank’s opening. Somehow, it must have crawled up the drain pipe, and across the gutter. (or, somehow, it got on the roof, and was swept down the pipe leading to the drain)

I was watching it, debating on if i should get my camera, when it jumped off of the tank, into the garden, a good 7 foot below.

Would this froggy have survived that drop?

Why do frogs climb up drains?

The frog will be fine.

The damage from a fall is equivalent to the square root of the mass. A frog weighs about 1/100th of you mass and hits the ground with about 1/10, 000th the force. Since a fall of 7 feet is unlikely to seriously injure most humans a frog won’t even feel it.
Frogs climb drains looking for shelter. In the wild they hide in hollow tree trunks by day. In cities they think your downpipe is just another hollow stump.
