Best Answer

The way their legs are shaped doesn't really allow for walking.

The front legs are much smaller than the rear legs, and would not bear the entire body weight of some frogs. The legs are built for jumping or swimming.

Why do frogs jump high?

Frogs jump around as a way of moving. They are built with large leg muscles and the way frogs use them is to jump. A four legged animal is usually proportioned enough to be able to walk on all four of its legs. But frogs have very small arms that are not capable of being used all the time in walking. Besides leaping is a very efficient way to move for the little creatures. They can easily leap jump after prey. Or they can quickly jump away from predators. I hope this helped. By the way, toads usually hop and frogs usually leap. There's a slight difference.
