The psychologist and neuroscientist Stephen Kosslyn found that after he asked the question, "Can frogs have lips and a stubby tail?" most people reported visualizing the frog, starting with the face ("no lips") and mentally rotating the image to look for the stubby tail.
Frogs undergo a process called metamorphosis, during which they transition from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults. Frog eggs are typically laid in water, and the larvae, known as tadpoles, hatch from these eggs. Tadpoles have gills, which they use to extract oxygen from the water. As tadpoles grow and develop, they also have a tail and lack limbs.
During metamorphosis, various changes occur. One of the most significant changes is the development of lungs. As the tadpole grows, its gills start to regress, and lungs begin to form. Limb buds also develop, which will eventually grow into the frog's legs. The tadpole's tail is reabsorbed, and its digestive system undergoes modifications to accommodate an adult frog's diet.
Once metamorphosis is complete, the tadpole has transformed into a froglet, resembling a miniature version of the adult frog. At this stage, the froglet has both lungs and functional legs for life on land. So, while tadpoles have gills as aquatic larvae, they lose them during metamorphosis as they transition into adult frogs.
Frogs, like many other vertebrates, have a body cavity known as a coelom. The coelom is a fluid-filled cavity that surrounds the internal organs, providing protection and allowing for their movement and functioning. In frogs, the coelom is well-developed and plays important roles in various physiological processes, including circulation, respiration, and digestion.
The digestive system of a frog is adapted for their carnivorous diet and consists of several specialized organs. Here's an overview of the key components:
Mouth: Frogs have a wide mouth with a sticky tongue used to catch prey. They don't chew their food; instead, they swallow it whole.
Esophagus: The esophagus is a muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach through peristaltic movements (muscular contractions).
Stomach: The stomach of a frog has two parts: the cardiac stomach and the pyloric stomach. The cardiac stomach secretes digestive enzymes, while the pyloric stomach helps churn and further break down the food.
Liver: The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Small Intestine: The small intestine is where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. Enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver help break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream.
Pancreas: The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that are released into the small intestine to help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Large Intestine: The large intestine is shorter than the small intestine and primarily absorbs water from the remaining undigested food material.
Cloaca: The cloaca is a common chamber at the end of the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. It receives waste products from the digestive and urinary systems and serves as the exit point for feces and urine.
Frogs excrete solid waste in the form of feces through the cloaca, while urine is excreted separately. The digestive system of frogs is relatively simple but efficient for processing the animal-based diet typical of most frog species.
I don't have access to real-time data on the number of frogs that have died each year in the past 7 years. However, factors such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and diseases have had negative impacts on frog populations worldwide. Conservation efforts are being made to protect frogs and their habitats.
The common name for frogs is just "frog", while their scientific classification is in the order Anura.
The scientific name for frog egg is "spawn" or "frog spawn." Frog spawn consists of a jelly-like mass of eggs laid by female frogs during the breeding season.
A frog is classified as an amphibian. They are known for their ability to live both on land and in the water, have moist skin, and typically undergo a metamorphosis from tadpole to adult.
The scientific name of the cliff chirping frog is Eleutherodactylus marnockii.
The scientific name of Wallace's flying frog is Rhacophorus nigropalmatus. It is a species of tree frog found in Malaysia and Indonesia.
The common toad is known as bufo bufo, of the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Amphibia, Order Anura, Family Bufonidae, Genus Bufo, Species B. bufo. It is native to all of Europe except Iceland, Ireland, and several islands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura, formerly referred to as Salientia salere. Rana hexadactyla is the scientific name or Anura w/c means tailess.
Frogs belong to the family Ranidae, which is a type of family of frogs that includes many of the most common species. They are part of the order Anura, which includes all frogs and toads.

The scientific name for a frog's mouth is "buccal cavity." This structure is where food enters the frog's digestive system and is the site of initial mechanical breakdown of food before it moves to the stomach for further digestion.
The scientific name for the red-eyed tree frog is Agalychnis callidryas.
The lifespan of frogs varies depending on the species, with most living between 4-15 years in the wild. Some species, like the African Bullfrog, can live up to 45 years in captivity.
Frogs are covered in skin that is typically smooth and moist. Some frogs may have rough or bumpy skin, depending on the species. Their skin provides protection from predators and helps with respiration.
The scientific name for the Panamanian golden frog is Atelopus zeteki.
Rana tigrina is the scientific name for the Indian bullfrog, a species of frog found in South Asia. It is known for its distinctive tiger-like stripes on its body.
well like most animals frogs hibernate during the winter. most species hide under rocks and mud or burrow under the ground. when looking for them think like a frog, where would i go in the winter? though looking for frogs in the winter is much harder than the spring and summer. and is extremely rare to see them unless you REALLY LOOK.
Not poisonous
Simply put, glass frogs are not poisonous. They don’t have any toxins that could harm people or other animals. In fact, they’re considered pretty safe and can make great pets if you can provide for them.
