"Frogs" refers to a diverse group of amphibians that are commonly found in a variety of habitats worldwide. They are members of the order Anura and are characterized by their smooth, moist skin, long hind limbs built for jumping, and absence of a tail.
Frogs typically have a slender body with a distinct head, bulging eyes, and a wide mouth lined with small teeth. They come in various sizes, from a few centimeters to several inches in length, with the largest species being the Goliath frog. Their skin is often camouflaged to match their surroundings, providing them with effective protection from their predators.
These highly adaptable creatures are known for their ability to thrive in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. While most frogs undergo a metamorphosis from tadpole to adult, some species directly hatch as miniature frogs from their eggs.
Frogs are well-known for their distinctive vocalizations, the sounds of which vary among species, and are used for communication, territorial defense, and mating calls. They feed on a wide range of prey, including insects, worms, small invertebrates, and sometimes even small vertebrates.
Frogs play important ecological roles in their habitats, serving as both predator and prey. They benefit ecosystems by controlling insect populations and serving as indicators of environmental health. Unfortunately, many species of frogs are threatened or endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and the spread of diseases like chytrid fungus. Efforts are being made to conserve and protect these fascinating creatures and their habitats to ensure their survival for future generations.

The word "frogs" has a Middle English origin and comes from the Old English word "frogga". The Old English word itself has Germanic roots and is related to the Middle Dutch word "vroge" and Old Norse word "froskr". These Germanic words likely trace back to a Proto-Germanic term, "fruzgô", which referred to a frog. The etymology of the Proto-Germanic term is uncertain, but it could possibly be imitative of the croaking sound made by frogs.
