On land, the frog's powerful hind legs are what enables the frog to leap and in the water, it uses its hind legs for swimming. By having strong legs and webbed toes, plus canon legs, they have an amazing swimming and jumping ability. Being able to leap quickly on land and to swim just as quickly is one of the frog's best defenses in avoiding predators.
