Why do frogs live longer in captivity?
Frogs can live longer in captivity due to controlled environments with consistent food, protection from predators, and limited exposure to diseases and environmental hazards. They also receive better care from humans, such as regular monitoring and veterinary attention, which helps prolong their lifespan.
Your frog was swimming and jumping and now it is not moving?
If your frog was previously active and has suddenly stopped moving, it could be a sign of illness, injury, or stress. Check for any physical symptoms like lethargy, unusual posture, or changes in skin color. It's recommended to consult a veterinarian experienced in treating amphibians for further evaluation and treatment.
Your tadpoles won't eat what should you do?
If your tadpoles aren't eating, consider trying different types of food such as boiled vegetables, commercial tadpole food, or algae pellets. Make sure the water temperature is appropriate for the tadpoles' development and that the water quality is clean and suitable for their health. If the issue persists, consult a veterinarian or an expert in amphibian care for further advice.
What is the different between a frogs nostril and a humans nostril?
Frogs have two nostrils on the top of their snout, while humans have two separate nostrils on each side of their nose. Additionally, frogs use their nostrils primarily for breathing, while humans use theirs for both breathing and detecting smells.
Why platypus frogs have to jump when they are on land?
The only ways they locomote are swimming and jumping.
How many tadpoles can a frog have?
A female frog can lay thousands of eggs at once, but not all will hatch into tadpoles. The number of tadpoles that survive and develop into adult frogs will vary based on factors like environmental conditions and predation.
What kind of frogs live in swamps?
There is the African Dwarf frog, then there is the African Clawed frog which is illegal in most states, because they have very good potential to be an invasive species. Sumerian Frogs also live a great deal in the wild.
Frogs - are usually better in water because they have looser hips and his hands are more stuck together witch can make him a bettter swimmer.
Toads - are usually bigger and usually better on land because their hands and feet are not really hooked together and their hips are not as loose as frogs so their survive better on land.
But - frogs and toads are they same in ways so please if you read this please help me save all frogs!
Where is the urinary bladder located in a frog?
The frog's urinary bladder is located in the lowest part of the body cavity.
What eats tadpoles in a marsh?
Animals that eat tadpoles in a marsh include birds like herons and kingfishers, as well as fish such as catfish and bass. Predatory insects like dragonfly larvae and water beetles are also known to prey on tadpoles in marsh ecosystems.
Tadpoles are herbivores and primarily feed on algae and plant matter. Offering them ham, a meat product, may not be suitable for their diet and could potentially harm them. It is best to provide tadpoles with appropriate food like algae wafers or green vegetables.
What is the purpose of nictating membrane?
The nictitating membrane is a third eye lid which moves horizontally over the eye. Its function is to protect the eye and clean the eyes. it is mostly functional in birds and reptiles. whereas it became a vestigial organ in most of the mammals. In fishes and amphibians also the nictitating membrane is present and here it reduces the friction with water.
The nictitating membrane is a protective, semi-transparent third eyelid. It allows vision while giving the eye extra protection. In the case of frogs, the protection is needed when the frog is out of the water.
No, a frog is not a plant so therefore it can not create its own food/energy.
That would be cool if it could though...
Why is the skin of frog always moist?
Skin is the respiratory organ in frogs. A thin water film is formed on the skin of frog and to retain this thin film of water for long time, mucus is produced by the mucus glands present in the skin. The O2 gets dissolved into this thin film of water from where it gets diffused into the blood capillaries. And this is the reason, why the skin of frog is richly supplied with blood capillaries. If the skin of frog dries up, the frog dies. The frogs also have lungs but 80% of respiration takes place through the skin.
So, frogs have two respiratory organs
1) Skin
2) Lungs.
Both the chicken wing and the human arm have similar basic structures, such as bones, muscles, and joints. However, they have evolved to serve different functions. A chicken wing is specialized for flight and has different proportions and adaptations compared to a human arm, which is used for a wide range of tasks including grasping objects and manipulating its environment.
Function of renal artery in frog?
The renal artery in frogs delivers oxygenated blood to the kidneys, which are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and regulating water balance in the body. This ensures that the blood is cleaned and properly balanced before being circulated back to the rest of the body.
You found some tadpoles they are small and black what kind of frog will they be?
Without more information, it is difficult to determine the exact species of frog the tadpoles will become. Tadpoles typically undergo metamorphosis and mature into frogs, with their specific characteristics becoming more apparent as they grow. Observation of the tadpoles' development and physical traits as they mature will provide more clues to their species.
Can you show a picture of internal structure of a frog?
I can't display pictures, but I can describe the internal structure of a frog. A frog's internal anatomy includes organs such as heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines. These organs are housed within a cavity called the coelom, and the frog's skeletal structure provides support and protection for these organs.
What is the organ located near the stomach that makes insulin in a frog?
In frogs, the organ near the stomach that produces insulin is called the pancreas. It is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by releasing insulin in response to glucose in the bloodstream.
Mesenteries do not store anything. They are double layers of peritoneum that support and suspend the organs in the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the intestines.
What are ten differences between a human skeleton and a frog skeleton?
1. The frog's pelvic girdle is tilted laterally to accomodate rearward extension of the legs.
2. The frog's phalanges are significantly longer relative to the metacarpal and metatarsal bones.
3. The frog's vertebral column lacks the cervical and lumbar curvatures.
4. The frog's skull has a foramen magnum shifted further back.
5. The frog's distal limbs do not have opposable thumbs.
6. The frog's pectoral girdle is much sturdier.
7. The frog's teeth are sharp and pointed.
8. The frog's carpals are rotated inwards.
9. The frog's eye orbit is significantly larger.
10. The frog's tibia and fibula are fused.
What kind of food do tadpoles eat?
Frogs spawn in my backyard pond every summer here in Florida, and sometimes I feed the babies. Plain dry oats are eaten they also like stewed cabbage or lettuce in ice cubes , but they especially seem to enjoy fresh fruit. Plums, mango, and tomato are devoured.
Tadpoles or frog spawn eat a variety of foods tadpoles have been known to eat foods like lettuce, fish food, egg yolk and even baby cereal. A tadpole starts feeding a few days after it is born typically when it starts growing legs until which it feeds on its own egg yolk and does not need to be fed externally.
Once it has grown sufficiently it starts feeding on mainly algae if it is in a pond and may even eat its own kind if sufficient food is not available for example in a tank.
As the animals begin to get bigger you should start feeding them uncooked but not bloody meat/bacon rind/meat scraps (because the vedgetable digesting gut of the tadpole evolves into the carnivorous stomach of the insect eating frog. ) and separate them because they may begin to fight between one-another!!
Solidified egg yolk and fish food can be utilized. Ideally tadpoles should be fed two pinches of food twice in a day after eight hours taking care not to dirty the water too much.
Also one would do well to change the water only after the tadpoles have sufficiently grown in to froglets, indicated by the disappearance of their tail.
Whatever the kit comes with. My little brother got a tadpole kit and he ordered the food online and it is treating the tadpoles great!
GOOD LUCK!
Will you kill the frog eggs if you move them?
Moving frog eggs should not harm them as long as they are handled gently and placed back in a suitable environment. It is important to ensure that the new location has similar conditions to their original habitat to give them the best chance of survival.
How frogs does live without water?
The majority of frogs do not live in water. True aquatic frogs are very rare. Most frogs need to live in moist areas or near water because they are amphibians and their skin dries out very quickly if they are too dry. However, they only enter it for a few minutes at a time. Despite this, a lot of terrestrial frogs are very good swimmers. The majority of frogs breed in water, but some of them do not. One species, the beautiful Red-Eyed Leaf Frog, lays its eggs on branches that overhang water. This protects them from aquatic predators in their embryonic stages when they cannot escape. When the tadpoles hatch they fall into the water to complete their development. Other species have bypassed water altogether. The Australian nursery frogs lay their eggs in moist leaf litter. The eggs are much larger than normal frog eggs and the tadpoles complete their development inside them, emerging as fully formed frogs with no tails. All of the frogs that lack a free swimming tadpole stage still go through being a tadpole, they just never leave their eggs.
