A frog rooting for the US Olympic team in Boston

The frog who welcomes kids to the Frog Pond playground on the Common is clearly rooting for the local team in the Summer Games.

The goggles! They do nothing!

Why would the frog need goggles? And while I'm on the subject, would someone who's a life-long Bostonian please answer me this: why do half the frog sculptures in that playground have snorkeling gear? Frogs are aquatic critters, aren't they?

Adaptation.

Efficient response to Charles River water quality issues of the last few decades. Surprised they aren't in wetsuits.

Not a bad model for the Rio 2016 aquatics, come to think of it.

Because it's whimsical for the kids?
