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.

What does a frog's tongue feel like?
Pandas feel like a big soft teddy bears, but you wouldn't want to touch one because it would attack you.
Is it called evolveing when a tadpole goes on land?
no,but its a perfect example of evolution.1.the tadpole is like a fish, having gills and fins,it slowly grows legs and the gills fade away and turns into a frog.so a baby frog turning into an adult is like a fish evolveing into a amphibian over time a long time:)
What is the function of the gallbladder in the frog?
It stores a substance called bile.
This is secreted by the liver and stored until needed in the intestines for digestion.
Bile aids mainly in the digestion of fats by helping to emulsify them. The gall bladder concentrates bile produced by the liver.
breaks down oil and fats in food to asorb nutrients and vitmains
A frog's gall bladder stores bile.The frog's gall bladder is a small sac under the liver and can be hard to find during dissection.
What happens when a frog's skin gets too dry?
their skin will mot be dry as skin is to help them breathe in water
by checking what color there poo is, and how it tastes, if it's sour it means its true. enjoy!

My toad ate one once. I don't recommend purposely feeding them a bee, but accidentally eating one isn't bad when the toad is outside.
Why do mosquitoes frogs and house flies lay many eggs at one time?
Some species often lay excessive amounts of eggs because it is not uncommon for the majority of these eggs to not survive into development. Laying large numbers of eggs increases the chances of some of them hatching and surviving into adulthood.
Is a pickerel frog a herbivore carnivore herbivore?
A Pickerel Frog is considered a carnivore since they mainly eat other insects
What the myth after frogs peeing on you?
Frogs AND toads give you warts. People say that, but it's just a myth.
When are frogs most likely active?
They are most active in tight spaces,like jammed between a tree root in a stream,ot under a ledge.They usually come out when bugs do,so if you want to see or catch one,the best time is at don or dusk.
Yes. And attached to the humerus is a radius and ulna.
What should a frog habitat have in it?
Depends on its species. Frogs have adapted to every habitat except the ocean and are found on every continent except Antarctica. If you are considering keeping a frog as a pet, its needs for space, lighting, temperature, water and tank decoration will depend on its species. You should do some research to work out which species you can provide for and then choose a species. Generally speaking: Desert-dwelling frog:
Relatively large tank, about half-filled with sand
One corner of the sand kept damp
Decorations like rocks and pieces of wood
Feed on ants, termites and mealworms.
Sedentary frogs, not very active and buried most of the time. Aquatic frog:
The popular African Clawed Frog is one of these.
Relatively large tank filled with water.
Small area to climb out, but this will be rare.
Decorations as per fish tank.
Can be housed with peaceful tropical fish.
Feed on water beetles etc. Arboreal (tree) frog:
Large, tall tank.
Bottom of the tank covered in leaf litter, 25% water, preferably running.
Decorations upright, ie. sticks, live plants
Feed on moths, beetles, crickets and mealworms. Ground frog:
Most variable of all.
Will need a poool of water.
Substrate varies per species, leaf litter and grass common.
Housing and hiding places depend on species.
Feeding depends on species.

How does frog capture their food and eat it?
They will either actively hunt or lay in ambush for their prey. Once prey is sighted, they will use their sticky tongue attached to the front of the mouth to catch their prey.
Frogs and toads use their tongue to catch insects, but somespecies prefer to hide and wait for an unsuspecting prey and then pounce. Frogs and toads use their tongue to catch insects, but somespecies prefer to hide and wait for an unsuspecting prey and then pounce.
Frogs have a long sticky tongue that shoots at the sight of food which include various flying insects a frog sits and waits for its pry and when it comes close enough he extends its sticky tongue and all the incects get stuck to it.
they get their food by using its tongue and eat mosquitoes
Frogs detect their prey visually, sinse they can not smell or hear very well.
How do you get rid of frogs in a pond?
By violent means - which have equally "violent ends"* - the gardener or cultivator may get rid of frogs (order Anura) within the garden.
The frogs may be rendered hungry by removing their mosquito and slug food sources. Just remove as much moisture as possible. Stop supplemental watering. Break down all water features, swimming pools and natural water bodies.
Render the frogs homeless by removing their preferred habitats. Specifically, increase the amount of impervious surface, against all possibility of underground burrows. So link the indoors with such "outdoor rooms" as patios, gazebos, gardens and decks. Build such gardening structures as potting sheds and greenhouses. Add paved footpaths and enlarged driveways.
Render them helpless by resorting to chemical controls of garden problems. Frogs easily may secrete defensive toxins. They just as easily may absorb environmental toxins, such as pesticides. Specifically, they tend to be as sensitive as such other beneficials as bees.
Render them frightened by killing all their eggs or by installing whatever traps or controls are recommended against nuisance populations.
The choice of any one of the above means may be understandable within the context of having to fill up frog holes or risk ankle injury by walking through them. But the holes serve a purpose. They actually are access points for the frogs to overwinter underground or between the roots of trees. In other words, the frogs are just doing what they can to survive.
So if none of the above appeals to the gardener or cultivator bent on control, there is another more environmentally-friendly possibility. This approach is based on what those frog holes do for the soil. Specifically, compacted soils that prevent adequate movement of air and moisture are side-effects of the development that allows civilization and its contents (and discontents). Frog holes create air and moisture spaces for the soil and its soil food web of plant roots and underground critter.
So another option is respecting the good that frogs and their holes do and just patiently filling in each hole with your favorite plant.
