Frogs
Frogs are amphibians which are present all across the globe in many different species. They are adapted for life in the water with many evolutionary characteristics, such as having the ability to breathe through their skin, having webbed feet and finger joints and many others. In this category, you will discover questions related to frogs in any shape or form.

No. Although frogs and toads are both amphibians, they are completely different species from each other. Frogs belong to the family Ranidae while toads belong to the family Bufonidae.
How are frogs different than koalas?
Not a lot.
However, they are both vertebrates with an internal skeleton, and they both have skin. They can also move in hopping or leaping movements. The adult frog breathes air using its lungs, like a kangaroo.
Why tadpole hatches without limbs?
Pollywogs (tadpoles) is in larvae stage when it hatches. It has a powerful tail to help it get to food. After 6 weeks they get their limbs.
How big does a frogs cage need to be?
If it is a frog that is a natural inhabitant of the area, you need to let it be free.
Yes, frogs and toads do poop. Like all animals, they need to excrete waste materials from their bodies to maintain their health. Their waste consists of undigested food and other metabolic byproducts that need to be eliminated from their system.
Most frogs are carnivores as adults, feeding on insects such as grasshoppers, mosquitoes, moths, beetles and crickets, as well as worms, Spiders and snails. Contrary to popular opinion, they are not all insectivorous as some species may eat vertebrates such as lizards, small fish, other frogs, reptiles such as baby freshwater turtles, small birds and even mammals such as rodents and small bats. Frogs have teeth, and while these are not used to chew their food, they are used for gripping large prey.
However, it is important to note that tadpoles, the juvenile form of frogs, can range from herbivore, eating algae and decayed plant matter, to omnivores, as some tadpoles such as bullfrog tadpoles, known for their size in contrast to other North American Species, will eat animal proteins.

What does it mean if a frog comes into your house?
well you can probably just try to lure it like water or something...... If that does not work leave the door open but just in case watch the door so no others can come in your house! Thank You... your very welcome.

What are the stages in the growth of a frog?
From juvenile to adult, a frog undergoes a process known as metamorphosis.
In chronological order, the stages of a frog's life cycle are:
- egg
- tadpole
- froglet
- frog
The frog lays its eggs, which is called frogspawn - a jelly-like substance containing thousands of eggs, which floats on the surface of the water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, with gills, a spiracle (breathing hole) and fins. At this stage, it eats only waterweeds and aquatic vegetation.
Gradually, metamorphosis occurs, with the back legs growing first, followed by the front legs. Lungs take over the function of the gills, as pulmonary breathing begins. When the tadpole has all four legs but still has its tail, it is called a froglet. The tail continues to shrink, and once the tail disappears, it is a frog. As a frog, it becomes insectivorous, with some types carnivorous, eating small mammals.
How are the front and back legs of a frog different?
The hind limbs are much longer than the forelimbs, but forelimb to hind limb ratio is quite variable. Toads and toad-like anurans have relatively short hind limbs.
What are the largest gland in a frog?
The largest gland in a frog is the liver. It is responsible for performing essential functions such as metabolizing nutrients, detoxifying the blood, and producing bile for digestion.
Why are frog's lungs smaller than humans?
because the frogs skin is served as a supplementary organ of gas exchange frogs use their tiny little lungs to breath when they are on land. so if they had huge lungs then they would just be in the way because the whole part of the lung was not in need! :D
I put a small green tree frog that wandered into my window into my red iguanas cage. The frog lasted about 3 minutes. Red gobbled him up like nobodies business.
They aren't supposed to be meat eaters, but I dunno he seemed to enjoy that snack.
How do tadpoles change as they get older?
Gradually they develop legs (usually the back pair first), lose their external gills and finally their tails.
How does the frogs green color help it to survive?
Natural selection helps all living things to survive in the same way as frogs but here is an example. This is not a true story but a hypothetical situation (pretend story). Suppose there are green frogs living in an area where there is a lot of green weed in the pond. Some of the frogs are caught and eaten by birds and some are lucky and escape. Suppose now the pond is invaded by a reddish coloured weed. The frogs now become very easy for the birds to see and most get eaten. Lucky for the frogs, they are all of slightly different colours. Some are just a tiny bit redder than others. These frogs are easy to see but there is a slightly better chance they will get away. This means that the slightly redder frogs will survive meaning their offspring will be slightly redder than the average for the previous generation. They will still be easy to spot by the birds but will have a slightly better chance than their parents. This process continues with the frogs becoming redder and redder with each generation. Eventually the frogs will turn red. Some will still get caught but enough will survive to restore the balance. During the industrial revolution in Europe, cotton moths turned from white to black in the space of fifty years. Before the industrial revolution they were white because they lived on white barked trees. Because of the soot from the factories they had to turn black to survive just like the frogs in the above story.
Is the Pig Frog a toad or a frog?
If the skin is smooth it is probably a frog. Also, it will have big hind legs. Toads have bumpy skin and a more squat body. Toads are more common, so if you find a questionable speciman tht might be a frog or toad, it's probably a toad.

What is the type of food the glass frog eat?
Glass Lizards are carnivorous. They will eat most things that they can fit in their mouth. In the wild, they will eat most bugs (such as beetles, crickets and spiders). Other things they will eat are mice, eggs and other lizards and snakes.
Does a frog have a radial symmetry asymmetrical symmetry or bilateral symmetry?
Yes frogs have bilateral symmetry, meaning if you draw a line down the middle of the body, the parts will be the same on each side. Yes frogs have bilateral symmetry, meaning if you draw a line down the middle of the body, the parts will be the same on each side.
