Best Answer

A frog's tail disappears for one main reason. As a tadpole, the frog's legs have not developed yet, so a tail is the only thing that can help the tadpole propel and move itself through the water. When its legs develop, the tail disappears because the frog no longer has a need for that, as the legs allows the frog to walk on land and swim through water, so there is no need for a tail anymore. Thus, the frog is just getting rid of something old for something new that does twice as much.

Frogs have skin that is not waterproof so, during the dry season frogs bury themselves several feet underground or live inside cool moist burrows. Frogs also leave to breed.

Why are frogs important to our environment?

Frogs, as well as salmon and trout, are an indicator species. In the case of frogs, they are largely an indicator species for humans. When frogs disappear or die, it can indicate a threat to humans-- such as a disease or a natural disaster. Also, a large number of breakthroughs in medicine are due to frogs; if frogs die off, we lose a large amount of our medicine. In fact, frogs may be a key factor in curing certain types of cancer. In short, frogs are extremely important part of our lives-- whether we know it or not.
