What is the most poisonous frog?
The Golden Poison Frog, Phyllobates terribilis, is considered the most toxic of the family of poison dart frogs, dendrobatid ae.
Frogs do not drink water through their mouths like humans do. They absorb water through their skin while sitting in or near water. This allows water to pass through their skin and keep them hydrated.
Why do frogs have long tongues?
Frogs with long tongues eat prey that is far away. Frogs (such as Ground Frogs) that eat prey close to them (such as ants) don't have long tongues.
so they can catch tings from further away with out being noticed
Why is the first finger of the male frog swollen?
Swollen finger in male frogs may be due to the presence of nuptial pads, which are specialized structures used for gripping during mating. These pads can appear swollen during the breeding season to help with grasping the female during amplexus, the mating position. It's a natural and temporary condition.
Yes, they are cold blooded. A frog is an amphibian and like most other amphibians is an ectotherm, meaning it depends on outside sources of heat to keep a near constant body temperature, this is what used to be called 'cold blooded'.
Would a frog be considered a insect?
No, a frog is not considered an insect. Frogs belong to the class Amphibia, while insects belong to the class Insecta. Frogs are vertebrates, have backbones, and are characterized by moist skin and the ability to breathe through their skin, while insects are invertebrates with exoskeletons.
Frogs have ears on the side of their heads why do they hear movement?
Frogs are just very sensitive to sounds and movement- it is natural for them as they are preyed upon by many species. The ears on the side of their head I believe aids them in sensing movement in their environment.
The frog is an amphibian common to many countries. It is colored either brown, black or varying shades of green, determined by it's habitat. The frog is somewhat diamond shaped with eyes at either side of the top of the diamond and strong extend-able legs at the bottom of the diamond. It is soft bodied with an endoskeleton.

Places where frogs live- in water(swamps, marshes, lakes,etc.)
African reed frogs are small, colorful frogs found in sub-Saharan Africa. They are known for their vibrant colors and unique patterns, and are often found near water sources such as ponds, marshes, and rivers. These frogs are skilled climbers and jumpers, using their long limbs to navigate their environment.
No, frogs do not drink water.
Frogs absorb water through their skin.
It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. The frog then uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.
Where does a frog's glottis lead?
It leads to the frogs lungs.
to the lungs
The glottis is tube-like structure in the frog's throat that leads to the larynx and then the trachea. It eventually leads to the lungs.
How is the digestive surface of a frog increased?
The digestive surface of a frog is increased through the presence of villi in the small intestine. Villi are finger-like projections that line the inner surface of the intestine, increasing the surface area for absorption of nutrients. This allows for more efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food the frog eats.
Where do under water frogs live?
Underwater frogs, also known as aquatic frogs, live in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and streams. They are adapted to living in water and can be found in both still and flowing water bodies. These frogs use their webbed feet to swim and have specialized skin that helps them absorb oxygen from the water.
Usually this means that your frog is an albino version of a reticulated clawed frog. as far as I know it's just their colouring. This happened to my frog 'gamma,' a few months ago and he's so healthy.
It depends on the species. Many are filter feeders that filter algea from the water, while some are predacious and will eat other small aquatic organisims. Some Posion dart frogs eat a non fertile egg that the female
lays in a an aboreal pool.
Yes, frogs have many predators in the wild, including birds, snakes, fish, mammals, and even other amphibians. These predators hunt frogs for food either in water bodies or on land, posing a significant threat to their survival.
oxidyzed (blue blood) and de-oxidyzed (red blood) blood is mixed
Some frogs are and live almost entirely on ants. An example is Gastrophryne carolinensis from southern US.
There is no species called 'amazon frog' , because there is a large amount of frogs living in the amazonregion there might be 1 or 2 living of ants.
Frogs swim by using their powerful hind legs to kick and propel themselves through the water. They also use their webbed feet to paddle and steer in the direction they want to go. Frogs are well adapted for swimming due to their streamlined body shape and strong limbs.
What adaptation does a young baby frog have for breathing air?
A young baby frog is a tadpole. A tadpole is adapted to live in water. For breathing, it has gills, which helps it remain inside water until it grows up to become a frog. Gill are breathing organs of fish also, and the mode of living of a tadpole is similar to that of a fish. When it becomes a frog, it is capable of breathing both in air and in water. For breathing in air, a frog develops lungs and for breathing inside water the skin is used.
What is the function of the liver in a frog?
The liver in frogs functions in detoxifying harmful substances, storing energy in the form of glycogen, and aiding in the digestion of fats by producing bile. It also plays a role in metabolism and the synthesis of various proteins.
What is the source of frog mutation?
Frog mutations can be caused by a variety of factors such as pollution, habitat destruction, exposure to chemicals, and UV radiation. Additionally, genetic mutations can occur naturally within frog populations.
