I need to know for a paper at school and i cant find water frogs anywhere.
What you are looking for are the common frogs which are amphibians that live in the water and on land! They are only differ in their varieties and characteristics.
Like most animals in the world, frogs have special features to help them survive the wild that they live in. When a frog has webbed feet you can tell that it is a good swimmer. Did you know that there is a reason that frogs have big mouths? It’s because their teeth aren’t very good at chewing, so they need to have a big mouth to swallow things whole. A frog’s eyes & nostrils are located on the top of their heads so they can breathe (and spot predators) while the rest of their bodies is hidden underwater. Do you know that frogs have slime covering their bodies? It keeps the frogs skin from drying out. Frogs eyes are big because sight is their major sense that they use the most.
Frogs, believe it or not have predators. Some predators of frogs include (on land) birds, lizards, and snakes. In the water some predators are sharp teethed fish, mammals, water shrews, and birds. The main ways that a frog keeps itself away from predators are hiding under stones and leaves, (using camouflage). Some people in many countries are starting to eat frogs. Parasites take away food from frogs before they can digest the food.
A lot of frogs have defense mechanisms to help protect themselves. One of the defense mechanisms is the frog’s color. Bright colors may warn predators that they are poisonous.
well, for food they have that tongue with allows them to catch insects hovering above the water, and many water frogs have glands that produce oils on there skin that smell and taste very bad. They can also swim very well.
