Frogs are amphibians, belonging to the order Anura. They are characterized by their unique features such as a short body, long hind legs designed for jumping, webbed feet for swimming, bulging eyes, and a distinctive croaking sound. These fascinating creatures undergo a transformation from tadpoles to adults during their lifecycle, typically starting as aquatic larvae before developing into the semi-aquatic or terrestrial adult form.
Frogs can be found in various habitats around the world, including forests, grasslands, ponds, and streams. They play a vital role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey, feeding on insects while also serving as a food source for various animals. Their permeable skin makes them sensitive to changes in their environment, often making them an indicator species for ecological health. Frogs are crucial for the balance of ecosystems and have been the subject of scientific research due to their unique biological traits.
