Frogs
Frogs are amphibians which are present all across the globe in many different species. They are adapted for life in the water with many evolutionary characteristics, such as having the ability to breathe through their skin, having webbed feet and finger joints and many others. In this category, you will discover questions related to frogs in any shape or form.

What type of animals get along with frogs?
Some dogs may get along with a frog and others would probably try to eat it.
No, snails don't kill frogs they actual help frogs by eating harmful bacteria.
Many causes lead to animals, plants and insects being placed on the endangered species list. Thousands of mammals, reptiles, birds and other living things are in danger of extinction because of various environmental changes, diseases and humans. It is too late to save those that are already extinct, but many can be helped by reducing these negative factors.
- Global Warming
Global warming increases temperatures and causes severe climate changes. Melting ice caps devastate the natural habitat of animals, such as polar bears, dolphins and seals. Many sea creatures, such as salmon and other fish ,are sensitive to water temperature. Coral responds to the increased temperatures by releasing their own algae into the ocean which often causes the reefs to die off. Rising sea levels lead to flooding which impacts land mammals as well. The increase of droughts caused by global warming can wipe out food sources. The Pika, a small rabbit species native to the U.S., cannot adapt to rising temperatures and has already abandoned one-third of its previous habitat in search of colder temperatures.
Whalers, poachers and hunters has caused a decrease in populations of animals, such as humpback whales, chimpanzees, gorillas, snow leopards and giant pandas. Although laws have been passed to protect many animals, they continue to be threatened to be killed for their bones, skin and fur or be illegally traded aspets. Sometimes, humans introduce non-native species, leading to imbalances in the ecosystem, which is happening with jaguars. Some animals may be vulnerable to these new predators. This also creates increased competition for food sources.
Deforestation has caused habitat loss to many animal species. Deforestation can be caused by logging and mining and also natural causes, such as forest fires. Species that are native to jungles and tropical rain forest, such as orangutans and tigers, are endangered by habitat loss. Maned three-toed sloths and the slender loris are endangered solely because of deforestation. Asian elephants, giant otters and mountain zebras are all threatened by habitat loss.
Rabies in East Africa is killing Ethipoian wolves while many bird species are being devastated by Avian malaria. Koalas are being threatened by the spread of Chlamydia and AIDS. Domestic animals can also spread diseases to wild animals. Pollution from acid rain, oil spills and the dumping of toxic chemicals into the water affects many species of frogs, birds and fish. These animals, particularly frogs, are also endangered due to the use of pesticides and fertilizers that weaken their immune systems and kill their eggs.
How should pool water be treated after finding a dead frog in the pool?
First of all remove all remains of the cat. then super chlorinate it and leave it to filter for a day. check the chlorine levels and every thing should be OK after that. so long as the chlorine levels are correct the water should be properly disinfected.
Do frogs spened more time in water or on the land?
Most frogs live terrestrial, on land. Some are aquatic and never leave the water but are a minority. Most frogs lay their eggs in water but some do not and live completely terrestrial. They lay their eggs in moist environments and don't have an aquatic larval stage.
What do you put in a frog tank?
Rain water will be fine, you should not put destilled water into the frogs tank because this is harmful to the frog.
Does frogs eat green tomatoes?
No! Frogs do not eat human food for they are carnivores.. They eat flies, moths, mealworms, worms, and grub.
Where do eastern banjo frogs live?
Eastern Banjo Frogs are common around rivers, streams and swamps in woodlands, rainforests, farmland, heathland and temperate grasslands. The Eastern Banjo Frog is a burrowing frog that can be seen after rainfall when it comes out from its burrow to feed and breed. It is often dug up in urban gardens.
How can you tell if two frogs are mating?
you can't ... one day you will probably see the male "hugging" the female around her waist and that is how they mate.
Yes. Many frogs are nocturnal so have good night vision. They have a mirror layer in the back of the eye (called tapetum lucidium) that lets them reflect light at night,known as 'eye-shine'. This gives them a kind or search light for hunting by.
Deferent species have different sensitivity to light depending on their habits and habitats. This can be determined by the numbers of 'rods' and 'cones' on the frogs retina (back of the eye). Rods are sensitive to light and cones detect colour.
How does the urogenital system of the male frog differ from the female?
The urogenital system of the male frog is not much different than that of the female. In fact, the only difference is that the male will possess a pair of testicles, while the female will possess a pair of ovaries.
How do you take care of polliwogs?
Pollywogs or tadpoles need warm, shallow water to swim in, and small bits of bread crumbs to munch on. They will be very happy and grow quickly. You can observe their body changes as the adults develop into frogs. Why not take notes of changes as you observe them. Great project for a science/biology hobby.
Where can you buy food for frogs?
Gray tree frogs mating season is usually March-September, or they will mate during or right after a rainstorm. Gray tree frogs lay their eggs in ponds, streams, swampy areas, and any open area of water that has lots of pond weed, algae, and fresh water. If you can't find any tadpoles in any of those places, go on a camping trip and take a hike! Still can't find it? You can go to a garden and pond shop, such as Green Thumb, and maybe they will have it there.
Why does salt kill slugs and frogs?
Death through body damage and dehydration is what salt does to slugs.
Specifically, the mollusc (Gastropoda class) in question depends upon accessing moisture and keeping body parts moist in order to survive. Salt particles frustrate slug health because of their coarseness and their drying effects. Slugs will die from contact with sufficient quantities of salt.
What eats a frog when it dies?
yes. Snakes, lizards, birds, and various small animals like hedgehogs eat the frog. Even under water frogs can't be safe from hungry sharp toothed fish, swimming mammals like water shrews, and even diving birds!Frogs can also be eaten by other frogs.
What is the function of the tympanic membrane on a grasshopper?
To allow the grasshopper to hear. The tympanum is basically an eardrum in the side of a grashopper's body. To hear, just like us. Grasshopper and cricket males often chirp and sing to attract females, so the females need to hear quite well, and males compete with other males, so they also need the eardrums.
How do frogs control the population of bugs?
It is by preying upon arthropods that a frog is considered a natural pest control agent. Nuisance organisms may be controlled non-chemically when predator - prey relationships are comprehended and facilitated in such cases as frogs eating harmful insects.
Are all brightly colored frogs poisonous?
No they r not poisonous
you dumbo
thats so rediculous
OMG
wow your dumb
good luck :D
