Frog Anatomy 101
Frogs have fascinating bodies:
- Skin Color: Frogs can change their skin color to adapt to their environments, serving both for camouflage and temperature regulation.
- Diet: While many frogs are carnivores, eating insects, worms, and even smaller frogs, some are herbalists munching on fruits! 🍃
- Tongues: A frog's tongue is about one-third the length of its body and they use it to catch prey in a fraction of a second! Talk about fast food! 🍔
