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.
