Facts about frogs

 When a female frog is already mature (when they are between 2 months to 3 years old, depending on the species), she can lay from 2 to more than 50,00 eggs at once, one more time it depends on the species. This eggs will incubate for 48 hours to 23 days, with the protection of the male frog. Once the egg hatches, we call this creature a tadpole, that will have no legs, will have a tail and look like a kind of fish, cause they live underwater. Over time the tadpole will grow legs, lose its tail and become a frog, emerging from water to land. How long this process takes depends on the environmental factors.

There is scientific evidence that frogs existed since the dinosaurs were alive. That means they exist for more than 200 million years.

Frogs have a lot of predators, such as birds, fish and reptiles.

Frogs have an amazing night vision, incredible camouflaging ability and are very sensitive to movement, which helps them to find food and protect themselves of predators.

Some frogs can jump over 20 times their own length.

In Egypt, the frog is the symbol of life and fertility, and they had a frog-goddess named Heqet or Heket.

Only male frogs croak, and all the frog´s species have a special and a little bit different sound. That sound depends on the situation, it´s different when they want to attract a female, protect their territory or communicate.
