> were able to make the trip in a minimum time of six minutes. (The longest journey took about four hours, per Wired.)

Between 6 and 240 minutes... How come such a wild range? Some take time sightseeing?

If you get turned around and try to head in the wrong direction you just aren't going to make any headway.

I would imagine it also has something to do with their relative sizes, and how full the frogs digestive system was at the start.
