Frog Facts:


Did you know?

* And African Bullfrog can be as BIG as a football.
"Brenden says, WOW! I can't believe that."

* A Group of Frogs are called? An ARMY
A Group of Toads are called? A Knot

*Frogs don't drink water they absorb it through their skin.

*Frogs bones form a ring when the frog is hibernating,
just like trees do.
Scientists can use these rings to figure out the age of a frog.

*There are 6 to 14 frog species in the world that have NO tongues.

*Frogs can jump 20 times their body weight.




We learned so much about frogs & did fun activities.
