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?

What can frogs hear underwater?
They will simply hear what is around them. Sound, which is vibrations, can travel in water, air and through anything apart from a vacuum.
Whilst underwater, frogs hear sound waves that have been emitted by other frogs and ambient noises also. Frogs use internal ears to process sound signals as well as their lungs, although the sensitivity of the lungs is not as high as that of the ear structure.
They can hear fish, insects, animals and other frogs that are in the water. They hear using their big round ears called tympanum. Frogs can hear under water through the vibration that travels through the water, but they cannot hear sounds that are short and of high frequency.
How are frog eggs being used in research involving human cells?
Eggs from the species Xenopus laevis are studied all over the world because their gelly-like 'shell' is transparent and the eggs are relatively large. Processe like myosis can be easily observed and learns us more about cells en embryonic development in general.
What do adult frogs breathe with?
Their Answer: They breathe with their lungs because they live on land!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Answer: They actually breathe through their skin, and the skin must be kept moist or it dies. That is why frogs die if you put common table salt on it. Also, most frogs live in ponds and streams, and not on land.
In what situation would the location of the frog's nares can be an advantage in breathing?
Frogs go into the water but need oxygen. So when they do go into the water their nares need to be located on the very top of their bodies, so they can be in the water as far as they can but still able to breathe.
Frogs are carnivorous, and will eat a variety of insects such as flies, mosquitoes, moths, beetles and crickets, as well as worms, slugs and snails. Contrary to popular opinion, they are not all insectivorous as some species may eat lizards, small fish, other frogs, reptiles such as baby freshwater turtles, small birds and even mammals such as rodents and small bats, though only the larger frogs, such as the African Bullfrog, can manage these.
Frogs eat almost anything that they can fit into their mouth. There have even been some documented cases of frogs suffocating while trying to swallow something too large for them and refusing to let it go. They have teeth, but these are not used for chewing: rather, they are used for gripping their food. These are called maxillary teeth.

Can Albino Clawed Frog and Albino Oscar live together?
no the Oscar will eat it. i bought an albino clawed frog and my Oscar at it
the frog was in the tank for ten min.
I had a couple of the albino frogs in the tank with several large Oscars and a synadontis catfish for years. Needless to say when i got the Oscars the frogs were larger than them and unable to eat them so i think that helped a lot. One of the frogs did happen to get eaten by the catfish though when I was transproting them to my new apartment.
What is the habitat of a frog?

No, but they are predated by frogs and will eat tadpoles. Mice eat bugs, grains, seeds and some things out of the garbage. They like cheese, crackers, cereal, etc.
How long does it take for a tadpole to hatch?

Do frog feces look like mouse feces?
Yes. Right under the light on our front porch there were droppings that actually looked like mice poop and kinda like bird poop. We could not figure out where it was coming from. Once night there was a tree frog sticking on the storm door and we watched it from the inside of the house and when it pooped...we realized that it was identical from the poop on the porch. After more investigation, we noticed that we had between 6 and 8 tree frogs hanging around our porch and that the poop was coming from them.
