There are more than 6,000 species of frogs discovered on Earth.
They are distributed on every continent, except the Antarctica, since all they need is a water source near them.

I will show you some examples of my favorite frogs:
Goliath frog: This is the biggest frog on Earth. It grows up to 32 cm long and can weight up to 3.3 kilograms. They live in western Africa, because there is a lot of water. They can eat other amphibians and even bats. They can live up to 15 years in the wild and 21 years in captivity, a lot for being a frog, because the other ones live up to 4-10 years.
Mini mum frog: This is the smallest frog on Earth discovered till the moment. It grows up to 8 milimeters long. They were discovered in Madagascar. If you compare them with a cent it only fills a small part of it. When they were found they were declared as in extinction because it was only discovered an small area with a few ones living there.
Wallace's flying frog: They are also known as parachute frogs because they have huge webbed feet plus skin flaps on their sides, which catches air to help them glide from tree to tree. They are found in Southeast Asia.
