Do frogs have a rib cage?
They have "ribbits, ribbits, ribbits" instead of ribs. Naaah, seriously, we do need ribs (and diaphragm, and intercoastal muscles, among others) to help us breath. Frogs breath quite differently from us: * oxygen can enter through their moist skin (straight into the blood), also * through the nose/mouth, but the mechanics are different, ribs (diaphragm, intercoastal muscles) are not necessary. More about frogs can be found on: http://en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Frog

What was it like in Charleston South Carolina in 1665?
I'm sorry to say that the settlement of Charles Towne (later changed to Charleston) was only in its "discription on paper" phase in England. It was not "founded" until 1670. Indians that might have been in that area were the Kiawah, Wando and Etiwan. The Edisto, Stono and Sewee may also have traded in this area. It was the typical intercoastal, swampy terrain that abounded in sea birds and critters of the intercoastal waterways.
