Frog, an Interesting Carnivorous Amphibian

Frogs are considered to be amphibians. There are
many characteristics that are used to identify
members of this species. Frogs have webbed
fingers and toes that allow them to be able to
swim. They have protruding eyes as well, and
these greatly benefit the frog. These animals
are able to see above water when the rest of
their body is hidden from view underneath.
Finally, amphibians can be identified because
they have a bifid tongue. If you do not know
what this is, then you may be surprised to know
that these kinds of tongues are attached at the
front of the mouth instead of at the back like
other animals. This allows the frog to be able
to flip its tongue out in order to catch food.
Frogs have permeable skin, and this allows them
to live in water.

When frogs reproduce, the females will lay eggs
in water. Tadpoles hatch from these eggs, and
these are the larvae of frogs. Tadpoles live
exclusively in water, and are able to survive
much as fish do. However, as the frogs mature,
they lose their tails and are able to live out
of the water. Keep in mind that frogs do need to
stay in a moist or humid climate in order to
survive.

Frogs are carnivores, and they will eat a diet
that consists of mainly bugs and worms. They
have a sticky substance on their tongue that
makes their prey stick to it when they are
touched by it. The frog's tongue is the unique
part of its body because it is primarily made
for catching flying insects.

There are many different species of frogs that
can be found all over the world. However, you
should know that there are also toads. Some
people think that frogs and toads are same. Some
people You can tell the difference between a frog
and a toad because toads do not have to be in an
area that is moist in order to survive. This is
the main difference between frogs and toads. For
the most part, their features are the same and it
can be difficult to tell them apart any other
way.

One of the interesting facts about frogs is
that they do not need their lungs to survive. Of
course, they use their lungs in order to breathe
oxygen, but this is not the only way that they
breathe. They also use their skin in order to
absorb oxygen.
