About

Ever dreamed of leaving your mark on the world? How about leaving your mark on some freshly poured concrete? That's what one frog chose to do while crossing the street in Saint Charles, Missouri.

Like the Chicago Rat Hole that became infamous in early 2024, this imprint of a frog caught in wet concrete has made a distinct mark on the world. The amphibian must have some sense of style as they chose to splay out like Michael Jordan reaching out for a dunk to leave its mark on the world.
