Can You Hypnotize A Frog? A frog can be placed in a "hypnotic" state.  Lay the frog on its back and hold it firmly in your hands until it stops moving.  Slowly open your hand, the frog will remain motionless and on its back. Try to place your frog in a hypnotic state.  Suggest reasons that this behaviour exists. What advantage might it be to the frog?
