The Language of Frogs
Frogs and toads are known to be great communicators. Their calls range from high-pitched whistles to low grunts, using their vocal cords to create unique sounds that can be heard over long distances. Frog vocalizations are not just beautiful; they play a crucial role in mating rituals and territorial defense.
