A man is in an area where blue-backed frogs are quite common. He finds one and it then begins to rain quite hard, to which he becomes quite stressed. The rain becomes more and more ferocious and the man has to leave, quite disappointed. Who is the man, and what is going on? (Hint: blue-backed frogs are now extinct)

“A scientist studying amphibians”

While a scientist could be looking for frogs, the riddle specifically refers to Noah and the Ark, which relates to a biblical context rather than a scientific one.

“A zookeeper trying to rescue animals”

Although a zookeeper might be concerned about animal preservation, the riddle's focus on the biblical figure Noah and the specific task of finding a pair of frogs for the Ark makes this guess incorrect.

“A gardener worried about his plants”

This guess is incorrect because the riddle centers around Noah's search for blue-backed frogs to save them from extinction, not a gardener's concern about plants, which is unrelated to the frog theme and the biblical narrative.
