In 1986, a plain female bullfrog named Rosie the Ribeter was among the bullfrogs jumping. Usually males dominate because spring is the season when frogs lay eggs, and the contest rules say no females with eggs can jump. Would she be competitive? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story begins when Rosie is captured from her moonlit irrigation ditch. When the frog jockeys tested her, she jumped straight. This was important because the competition measures how far a frog jumps from a starting pad for three consecutive jumps. If a frog jumps crooked, it could end up very close to the starting pad. Rosie jumped straight. She would enter the competition!
