  • frogs have teeth
  • frogs can drink and brith through there skin
  • the oldest liveing frog was a europian comon toad(40 years old)
  • Some frogs have developed neat ways to fool predators by stripes that appear to split them in two! The stripe down the scenter confuses predators from above by breaking up the outlines of "frog" shape to look like something different. This way, the frog or toad can blend in easier to it's background.
  • Toads often have puffy looking pockets called paratoid glands located behind the ear that squirt poison at potential predators.
  • Many frogs rely on the art of camouflage to avoid getting spotted by predators.
  • Many frogs are so poisonous that they can afford to flaunt their colors
  • Some species have bright colours on their underparts or legs that flash when the frog moves, presumably confusing enemies
  • ok look at the pic below(This weird looking guy was found in a garden pond in the UK.)
  • The Phrynosoma, or Horned Lizards, have also been referred to as Horned Toads, Horny Toads, and even Horned Frogs
  • Frogs that live in cold regions can't be active year round. When the weather gets cold their bodies cool down and they can't move.
  • the earliest known frog appeared during the late Jurassic period, about 190 million years ago! Scientists believe that the oldest frogs developed jumping legs to avoid being eaten by dinosaurs.
