The animals are doing a cute thing and given the context of the previous panels, that means something bad. The TV narrator gave the viewers some time to marinate in their suspicion before confirming (via disappointed nodding) that they should not find the bird sitting on a frog cute, but sad. The whole comic is a reference to nature documentaries. Where the events depicted in them are usually tragic despite the animals potentially being cute/endearing
Hm I guess I did get it, but was wondering if there’s an actual, tragic circumstance that causes birds, frogs, and turtles to pile up lol. Thank you for the in depth explanation!

I don’t think I understand the last 3 panels. Is it intentionally vague, or is it a reference to something?

I don’t think any of the behaviors shown are real.
But the first two seem plausible!
Agreed
The ambiguity completely kills whatever this might’ve been.
The only good joke is a fully explained joke!
I love that you’re likely getting upvotes from people who are taking you literally.
My interpretation is that those animals are engaged in some very kinky inter-species sexy time, and the narrator is shaming them for watching.
