Frogs are amphibians, which means they are cold-blooded vertebrates that live both on land and in water. They have moist skin that helps them absorb oxygen and stay hydrated.

There are over 7,000 species of frogs, ranging in size from the tiny Paedophryne amauensis, which is only 0.3 inches long, to the massive Goliath frog, which can weigh up to 7.2 pounds and measure over 1 foot in length.

Frogs are known for their unique way of catching prey. They use their long, sticky tongues to catch insects and other small animals, which they then swallow whole. Some species of frogs also have teeth that help them hold onto their prey.

Many species of frogs have the ability to change color, either to blend in with their surroundings or to communicate with other frogs. Some frogs can also puff themselves up to appear larger and more intimidating to predators.

Frogs play an important role in many ecosystems as both predators and prey. They eat insects and other small animals, helping to keep populations in check, and they are also eaten by larger animals such as birds, snakes, and fish. Frogs are also an important indicator species, as they are sensitive to changes in their environment and can help scientists track environmental changes over time
