A lot of people have no idea that frogs are not only the prey of many larger animals, but also what frogs eat exactly. Have you ever had a pet frog? If not, that you are probably not familiar with the fact that frogs actually do eat other live prey and are definitely not vegetarians by any means. Insects, snails, Spiders, worms and even small fish have all been known to be part of a frog's diet and while some bigger frogs had been known to go after something as big as a mouse, there are still those frogs that just stick to insects.
One of the neat facts about how frogs eat is that they have no teeth. Similar to snakes, frogs have to swallow their entire meal whole because they can not chew anything. Usually, frogs will only use the upper jaw to hold onto their prey, it is not used for biting or chewing at all. One of the most memorable things that people usually pick up on is the sticky tongue that all frogs have. This tongue takes less than a second to roll out and once it is out, whichever insect they are attempting to catch will not have any time at all to react.
