Correct: Measuring at his withers. You've probably heard people say something like this: "My horse is 15.3hh." The "hh" part means "hands high." What is a hand? That is the unit that you measure your horse in. Each hand is equal to four inches. So, lets say [beware, we are doing very easy math, nothing to sweat about]: Your horse is 9 hands. Each hand = 4 in. So, we would do: 9 hands x 4 in. = 36 inches. So, if your horse is 9 hands, he is 36 inches.

Do frogs have hearts?

There are three chambers. One collects blood from the body and pumps it into the middle chamber. This pumps blood both to the lungs and to another chamber which pumps the blood back through the body. The major difference between this and a human heart is the mixing of blood from the body and blood from the lungs. In humans the lungs have their own separate circulatory system and there is no mixing of blood. This is because humans are warm blooded and need more Oxygen than a cold blooded creature requires. Blood leaving the human heart is fully oxygenated. Fish, frogs and reptiles have blood which is just partially oxygenated, because of the mixing of blood in their hearts.

FYI: the human heart develops from a two chambered (fish) and then a three chambered (frog) design in the embryo. The middle chamber is eventually split into two chambers by a muscular sheet of tissue called a septum. One congenital defect is an incomplete development of this septum before birth. The infant is born with "hole in the heart disease". The mixing of blood severely limits the Oxygen in the blood and these infants are also called "blue babies" because of their skin color. Open heart surgery was perfected decades ago and this condition can be corrected.

Do frogs undergo incomplete or complete metamorphosis?

I had always thought that a complete metamorphosis involved a pupae stage. The argument that a froglet, being just a smaller version of an adult frog, might lead one to believe that humans (post natal) undergo a similar bypass of the pupae stage, in that as human babies, they do resemble humans, but are grossly dissimilar in proportion, human's baby's heads being about 1/3 of their total body length.
Incomplete.

Why do frogs have dual mode of respiration?

They can breathe with lungs and can perform oxygen exchange through their skin when moist. Well I theorize that when they hibernate, they go underwater into the mud at the bottom of ponds. Now how is a frog to breathe underwater? while underwater their oxygen requirements are low, but they still need it. That is why they can also perform oxygen exchange through their skin. probably because they're amphibians.
