A few fascinating facts about frogs
Frogs are amphibious. That means they spend part of their time in the water and part on land. There are nearly 4,000 species, or kinds, of frogs and toads. Toads are all frogs, but not all frogs are toads. Generally, the term “frog” is used for those species that live in moist areas. The term “toad” is used for species that live on dry land. Frogs have powerful hind legs and webbed feet that are great for jumping and swimming, whereas toads have stubbly bodies with short hind legs that are better for walking than leaping. Frogs lay their eggs in clusters, but toads lay their eggs in long strands. A frog’s skin is smooth and slimy, while a toad’s skin is rough with warts. Frogs have bulging eyes, while toads have eyes that are set into their head. Some frogs, like the Poison Dart frog, are dangerous, but Leopard frogs are harmless. A frog’s skeleton is designed to withstand the stresses of jumping. However, many frogs walk more often than they jump. A group of frogs is called neither a flock, a herd nor a school. It’s called an army of frogs.

Frogs eat lots of insects, providing a natural way to control insect populations. Frogs also make excellent environmental indicators. Frogs are very sensitive to changes in the environment. The presence of unhealthy frogs is an early warning that there may be something wrong with the environment in which they are living. The population of many frog species is declining rapidly around the world. This tells us something about our planet’s environments.
