Where does the frog get its food and oxygen during the winter?
During winter, frogs typically hibernate in a state of dormancy where their metabolic rate slows down. They do not eat during this time as their digestion slows down. Frogs absorb oxygen through their skin, but during hibernation, they rely on stored energy and absorb small amounts of oxygen through their skin and lining of their mouth.
What frogs are poisonous to cats?

Where do freshwater frogs live?
Frogs cannot tolerate salt and they all need to live near water. Technically, every frog in the world is a freshwater frog, because if it is too far away from fresh water it will die. Some frogs are exclusively aquatic and never leave the water for anything. The African Dwarf Frog and African Clawed Frog are the best known of these because they are popular additions to aquariums.
Its also a type of poisonous lizard
Small insects such as mosquitos and small flies. Wood frogs eat bugs. Not bees.
Wood frogs typically live for around 5-10 years in the wild, although some can live longer in captivity. The lifespan of wood frogs can be influenced by factors such as predators, disease, and habitat quality.
How many loops are in a frogs circulatory system?
A frog's circulatory system includes two loops: a pulmonary loop that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, and a systemic loop that delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
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.
Since frog contain no teeth what purpose would a sticky tongue have in a living specimen?
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.
Spawn.
What does the eastern Banjo frog have in its diet?
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.
What do frogs like and dislike?
Frogs like moist environments, insects, and small invertebrates as food. They dislike dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and being handled too roughly.

What changes a frog and toad go through from birth to adulthood?
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.
What happens to food in the stomach of the frog?
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.
