A frog is a short-bodied, tailless amphibian that can be found in a wide variety of habitats. Common frogs are often green or brown, have smooth skin, long hind legs for jumping, and a dark "mask" behind the eye. They absorb water through their skin and have a carnivorous diet as adults, eating insects, worms, and slugs, though they start life as herbivorous tadpoles.
Characteristics of a common frog
Appearance: Varies in color from green, brown, and grey to yellow and red, with smooth skin, a dark mask-like band behind the eye, and dark bands on their long back legs. They can also adapt their skin color to blend in with their surroundings.
Movement: They hop and jump rather than walk, and their strong hind legs are used for both jumping and swimming.
Size: Can grow up to 9cm long, with females generally being larger than males.
Breathing: They have lungs but also absorb water and "breathe" through their moist skin, allowing them to stay underwater for long periods.
Life cycle
Breeding: Frogs breed in ponds during the spring, with females laying up to 4,000 eggs in large, jelly-like clumps called "spawn".
Tadpoles: Eggs hatch into tadpoles that are initially herbivorous, feeding on algae.
Metamorphosis: Over about 14 weeks, tadpoles develop back legs, then front legs, and their gills are covered by skin as they metamorphose into froglets.
Adult life: Once they become froglets, they leave the water and their diet shifts to a carnivorous one of invertebrates.
Habitat and behavior
Habitat: Common frogs live in woodland, gardens, and grassland, often near water sources like ponds.
Diet: Adult frogs are carnivorous and use their long, sticky tongues to catch prey like flies, worms, snails, and slugs.
Water intake: They don't drink water but absorb it through their skin.
Defense: They can camouflage their skin color to blend in with their surroundings, and they can retract their eyes to help them swallow food.
