How long can a frog live in your stomach?

Dont insult the poor kid. The toad will last a very short time before being digested & broken down by your stomachs acids. I don't believe it will ever be able to thrive within your stomach, who's acids can burn through floors, the frog would be like your dinner so will be digested in about 4-6 hours (probably more). Many animals eat their prey alive so it is possible but you will get a horrible stomach ache and probably throw up the frog. No the frog will not act like a tape worm but I'm positive that, that frog will die. Please don't eat a live frog and I do hope you are not planning on it either.


What is an old male horse called?

All male horses are either geldings or stallions. Geldings are male horses/ponies that have been castrated, meaning they cannot breed. Stallions are horses that are not castrated and can breed. Geldings are usually more docile than Stallions that are more aggressive, they tend to act protectively over themselves and other horses (particularly mares) that could be either in their field or (in the case of mares) potential breeding partners. Stallions also become more protective, particularly in the field, if there are pregnant mares or young horses and foals.
