“This amphibian, a frog, gets ready to leap towards its unlucky prey.”
- Toads, salamanders, and newts are other amphibians.
- The common prey (an animal that is hunted and killed by another for food) of a frog includes:
- flies
- mosquitoes
- dragonflies
- worms
- grasshoppers
- mice
- small snakes
- Frogs lay eggs in water and these eggs hatch into tadpoles. The tadpole then undergoes a metamorphosis (the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in stages) and becomes a young frog.
- The eyes and nose of a frog are on the top of their head so they can breathe and see when nearly all of their body is underwater.
