Adjust font size:

Some 270,000 American frogs kept at a farm in Lidu township of Chongqing municipality died recently, possibly due to the noise generated at a nearby construction site.

Fu Yishun, 73, a farmer, invested more than 300,000 yuan (US$43,934) on the frogs, which died one after the other over the past one month.

Fu realized every time a major noise erupted from a construction site near his farm his frogs would bounce in shock.

Fu has dragged the builders to court demanding compensation of 2.59 million yuan.
