Top Frog Facts

Frogs are one of Earth's most common and diverse animals, making them an important part of worldwide ecology. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors, which makes them one of nature's most colorful creatures.

  1. Frogs use a special vocal sac on either side of the mouth to produce croaks and chirps. The throat region is also used to make frog sounds, which help them attract mates and can be heard up to a kilometer away in some species.

  2. Frogs have many predators, such as snakes, lizards, fish, birds, turtles, raccoons, and other frogs.

  3. Frogs have three eyelids, their lower lid being translucent. This helps them to keep their eyes moist and gives them better underwater vision.

  4. Frogs have a long, sticky tongue that can shoot out and snap onto prey, pulling it into their mouth.

  5. Most frogs can jump up to 20 times their body length in one leap.

  6. Frogs can sometimes live for up to 10-15 years.

  7. Frogs are well-adapted for survival in an aquatic environment, with their permeable skin helping them absorb oxygen from the water.

  8. Frogs have eardrums on either side of their heads to help them keep their balance and locate prey.

  9. Frogs hibernate in winter, often burying themselves in soil or mud until spring.

  10. Frogs are important indicators of environmental health - as they are very sensitive to changes in their environment, frogs can alert us to potential threats such as water contamination.
