Frogs

There is only one frog that actually says ribbitt. That is the Pacific tree frog. A Pacific tree frog can come in different colors of green and brown. It can change the color of its body from darker to warm up or lighter to cool off.

A frog's sticky tongue helps it catch prey by quickly extending and retracting to grab insects or other small creatures. The sticky mucus on the tongue allows the frog to easily trap and swallow its food whole. The tongue also assists in transporting prey to the frog's mouth for consumption.

Frog spawn. They grow into tadpoles and then, in time, into frogs. I believe a female frog lays frogspawn, masses of thousands of small eggs.

To my knowledge crickets is on there menu as well as small bugs!

No, frog bones are not soft. They are made of the same material as other vertebrate bones, primarily calcium phosphate, which gives them their rigidity and strength. They are adapted for the unique needs of frogs in supporting their bodies and allowing for movement.

Frogs like moist environments, insects, and small invertebrates as food. They dislike dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and being handled too roughly.

No, They have two. There are no animals except some kinds of snakes that have only one lung.

A frog's pharynx is part of its throat that serves as a passageway for both food and air. It helps in swallowing food by pushing it towards the esophagus. The pharynx also plays a role in vocalizations and sound production in frogs.

Frogs and toads go through a process called metamorphosis, which involves distinct physical changes. They start as aquatic tadpoles, breathing through gills and feeding on plant matter. As they grow, they develop limbs and lungs, eventually transitioning into adult frogs or toads with fully developed lungs for breathing on land.

The frog's digestive system begins with the mouth. Frogs have teeth along their upper jaw called the maxillary teeth, which are used to grind food before swallowing. These teeth are very weak, and cannot be used to catch or harm agile prey. Instead, the frog uses its sticky tongue to catch food (such as flies or other insects). The food then moves through the esophagus into the stomach. The food then proceeds to the small intestine (duodenum and ileum) where most digestion occurs. Frogs carry pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and bile (produced by the liver) through the gallbladder from the liver to the small intestine, where the fluids digest the food and extract the nutrients. When the food passes into the large intestine, the water is reabsorbed and wastes are routed to the cloaca. All wastes exit the body through the cloaca and the cloacal vent

Yes, frogs do eat larvae. In fact, many frog species primarily feed on larvae, such as mosquito larvae, as part of their diet. This helps control insect populations and maintains the balance of the ecosystem.

The nictitating membrane is part of a frog's eye. It is just above the lower lid and acts as a protective third eyelid.

Diploid cells in a frog can be found in various tissues such as skin, muscle, and internal organs like the liver and heart. These cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent.

I have two pet frogs. I have had one for 6mo. and the other for4mo. they tend to live longer if their habitat is tended and kept clean. But it still depends. you never know if they are sick. i would say in the wild, about a couple years without being eaten. :)

Many things are harmful to frogs such as the sun (in large doses) sharp thorns and large fish. But surprisingly, human skin is extremely harmful as there are oils that contain acid on our skin. These oils can affect the frog's sun protection and waterproof layer. This can result in the frog drying out really quickly or allowing it to drown.

A frog has three lobes on its liver. They are called the right lobe, the left anterior lobe, and the left posterior lobe.

The large intestine in a frog leads to the cloaca, which is a common chamber for the release of waste products, reproductive fluids, and urine. The cloaca then opens to the outside of the body through the cloacal vent.

Yes, many species of frogs do eat algae as part of their diet. Algae can provide important nutrients for certain species of frogs, especially in their larval stage. However, not all frogs eat algae, and their diet can vary depending on the species and their habitat.

Yes it does, but for a frog this is not a problem as it is cold blooded with a slow metabolism. This means that it does not need much oxygen. Frogs are also able to absorb oxygen through their moist permeable skin.

The common garden frog can jump anywhere from 6 to 10 feet. This type of frog grows to be 6 to 9 centimeters in length.

A frog has two eye bulges in the roof of its mouth. When it catches prey with its tongue, it forces its eyes down and the bulges move to help move the prey to the back of the throat so it can be swallowed. Also when a frog throws up, it throws up its stomach and uses his forepaws to squeeze the content out of it, whereafter it swallows its stomach back in.

Southern Gastric Brooding Frogs have a short lifespan, typically living up to around 5-7 years in the wild. They are a critically endangered species and their population numbers have significantly declined.

Frogs have webbed feet that allow them to swim efficiently by increasing surface area and providing propulsion. Their streamlined bodies and strong hind legs also aid in swimming by reducing drag and allowing for powerful kicks. Additionally, frogs have a unique respiratory system that enables them to breathe while submerged in water, enhancing their ability to swim effectively.

Tadpoles typically thrive in water temperatures that range between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit (21-27 degrees Celsius). It's important for their environment to maintain a consistent temperature to support their growth and development. Extreme temperature changes can negatively impact tadpoles' health and survival.
