The Marvelous World of Frogs
Frogs have been hopping around on our planet for over 200 million years! Join us in exploring why these amphibians are such an essential part of ecosystems around the world.
Frogs are known for their jumping abilities, croaking sounds, bulging eyes and slimy skin. They live on every continent except Antarctica and are one of the planet's most diverse groups of vertebrates, with over 7,000 recorded species.
Did you know? Frogs can breathe through their skin! This unique feature allows them to absorb oxygen and stay moist, crucial for their survival.
Why Study Frogs?
Frogs are considered indicator species, meaning they can give us important clues about the health of the environment. Their presence or absence in an area can tell us a lot about the quality of the ecosystem.
