You didn't?
Well, you're in luck, because you'll get to anyways!
Frogs are amphibians, meaning they can live both in water and on land. They are cold-blooded and typically have smooth, moist skin.
Frogs don't drink water the way humans do. They can absorb water directly through a special area of their skin called the pelvic patch, located on the underside of their bodies.
Different frog species make different calls. Some croak, chirp, whistle, bark, or even make sounds that resemble a duck or a bird.
When a frog swallows, its eyes actually move downward into its head and help push food toward its throat. Weirdly useful!
The wood frog can survive being partially frozen during winter. Its body produces glucose that helps protect its cells while much of its body freezes.
Some frogs can jump more than 20 times their own body length in a single leap. If humans could do that, we'd be jumping roughly the length of a basketball court.
Scientists have identified more than 7,000 living species of frogs, and new species are still being discovered.
Frogs can be found in deserts, forests, mountains, swamps, grasslands, and even high in trees. Some species spend most of their lives far away from water.
The earliest known frog-like animals lived more than 200 million years ago, meaning frogs existed alongside some of the earliest dinosaurs.
Certain frogs, especially some poison dart frogs, produce powerful toxins through their skin. However, most frogs are completely harmless to humans.
