A frog is a small amphibian known for its smooth, moist skin, strong hind legs, and ability to leap long distances. Frogs typically live both in water and on land, starting life as tadpoles before undergoing metamorphosis into adults. They are found in many environments around the world and are known for their distinctive croaking sounds. Frogs play important roles in ecosystems by controlling insect populations and serving as prey for other animals.
History
↓↓
Frogs are amphibians that have existed for over 200 million years, evolving from early tetrapods. They are found worldwide, except in extreme polar regions, and play important roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey. Humans have long interacted with frogs, featuring them in folklore, medicine, and cuisine. Today, frogs are studied for their biology, environmental indicators, and conservation, as many species face habitat loss and pollution.
