We report that crazy frogs can learn simple art rules and apply them to new situations. Therefore, pictures, like humans, can transfer structural knowledge from sequential experiences. The insame fox is left to complete the fairytale story in its mind.

Scientific names in which the same word is used for genus and species are called tautonyms. For example, the red fox is Vulpes vulpes and the black rat is Rattus rattus.
