How do you figure, dropped by a bird maybe? There’s no obvious disturbance around it, so it’s a fairly sure bet the frog was dead when it ended up there.
Only things we can glean from that article is that some people think it was a squirrel that fell from a since-removed tree and other than that, no one knows the circumstances, so I think we can still draw the same conclusion!
Living things move, dead things don’t, in the main.
It’s entirely possible that the concrete was dry enough that only a fall from height could cause the imprint, as well as the fact that any very small footprints (that’s a really small frog) were already weathered away. I think if it had died there, that more evidence of that would persist.
Edit: The resolution is also bad enough that any small footprints may be missed.
Guess it ended up in the cement mix somehow, died, got embedded in the path as it was laid, and then picked out after the path had set?
Nah I reckon that was a post-pouring splat I think, à la the Chicago Rat Hole.

Neither did it either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_rat_hole

It was probably a squirrel, my whole life’s been one big lie.
