The Songs of Love
Frogs use vocalizations to serenade potential mates. Each species has its own unique song, acting as a love beacon to females listening in the night. This chorus also serves as an indicator of the male's fitness, health, and genetic quality.
Colorful Displays
Some frog species don vibrant colors during mating season, a visual cue to attract mates. These bright displays might also intimidate rivals. 🐸✨
