Frogs are incredible jumpers, capable of leaping up to 20 times their own body length in a single bound! 🐸✨
This amazing ability is due to their powerful leg muscles and elastic tendons, which store energy during a jump. Frogs use this stored energy like a springboard!
Why Do Frogs Jump?
Jumping helps frogs escape predators and move efficiently through their environment. This skill is essential for their survival.
