Animal of the Week #4: Frogs!

Many people are scared to pick up a frog or even go near it. The truth is most frogs are completely harmless. They can't hurt you because they have no teeth. The only scary thing they might do is jump on your head, which would be very funny! Frogs are a part of the zoological class called Amphibian. Some may ask, what is the difference between a frog and a toad? The way you can tell the difference between the two is that frogs tend to lay eggs in clusters, and they have two bulging eyes. Toads have warty and dry skin, and they lay eggs in long chains.

You can find frogs mostly anywhere except Antarctica and every environment except the ocean. Mainly is all depends on what type of frog you are looking for. Most of the time, you will find frogs in any civilized area except poisonous frogs (you won't find them anywhere people are.)

Frogs can live 4 to 15 years, now that’s crazy stuff. Frogs mainly feed on flies, worms, and snails. Doesn't that sound yummy? Frogs can't chew on their food so they have to shallow it whole! What if we had to swallow our food whole? I honestly don't think I could swallow a whole hamburger without chewing. Frogs are very interesting creatures they can jump anywhere they want. We can't do that, but frogs can and that’s what I find so cool about them.

What do you think about frogs?

You said frogs are harmless, which I agree with, mostly. But what about the frogs you find in the rain forests that secrete poison from their skin? Couldn't those be harmful to people? I mean you do have a picture of a blue dart frog on your post which is known to be poisonous. Or were you just talking about North American frogs? No disrepect here I was just curious.Lol they are pretty cute though.

That is why she said most frogs. She didn't say all frogs.
