Snopes says it’s “Mostly true” in that they don’t know the origins of the color photo but the black and white one is authentic: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/frog-eyes-inside-mouth/

Well that’s one way to watch what you eat.

What are you looking at.

I believe this frog likes see-food.
Ba dum cha!
-
frogs have the most fucked up mutations
-
Quoting the article:
Most anurans retract and close their eyes repeatedly during swallowing. Eye retraction may aid swallowing by helping to push food back toward the esophagus.
That's about normal frogs, not the mutated ones. They use their eye balls to push food down their throats.
What. the. fuck. What a terrible day to be literate.

My God. If wind hits my eyes it hurts. Can't imagine them hitting against a steak. And the jarring effect on vision. Why? Why do this?
-
Amphibians are weird as hell, that's why.
-
OP tried to clarify but seems didn't clarify enough: that's talking about normal frogs with normal eyes, they use the back side of the eyes to push down food, presumably it doesn't feel any worse for them than you poking the side of your eye through the eyelid.

Intelligent design

the elder deep is leaking

They're not even symmetrical, I don't even know whether to send this to my wife to make her laugh, or send it to my wife to freak her out
-
That's actually great. Now it can watch what it eats.
-
And this is how nature invented eyelids 😃
-
this would make an interesting sequel. I Have No Eyes and I must scream
-
They must keep their mouths open more than normal frogs just so they can see. Poor creatures.
-
Why did I have to see this right before bed
-
There's frogs
😖

That seems... inconvenient.
maybe their mouth is so open so often that this is more effective for them.
