FR Cette sulpture animalière, se trouve au bout de la promenade Aubert Millot. Réalisée en granit bleu par René Pâris, cette composition d'un grand réalisme est arrivée à Manosque en 1922.
L'histoire locale rapporte qu'à l'origine une fontaine donnait de l'eau à cet endroit mais que les habitants avaient demandé son déplacement en raison du bruit occasionné par les grenouilles qui s'y étaient installée. Pour "occuper" cet emplacement laissé libre, la statue a été installée.
