Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning "tailless", from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin salere (salio), "to jump"). Most frogs are characterized by a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes, bifid tongue and the absence of a tail. Frogs are widely known as exceptional jumpers, and many of the anatomical characteristics of frogs, particularly their long, powerful legs, are adaptations to improve jumping performance. Due to their permeable skin, frogs are often semi-aquatic or inhabit humid areas, but move easily on land. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and tails to develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season.
The distribution of frogs ranges from tropic to subarctic regions, but most species are found in tropical rainforests. Consisting of more than 5,000 species described, they are among the most diverse groups of vertebrates. However, populations of certain frog species are declining significantly.
ive got a frog in my pocket. its not a big frog. i like it anyway. one time i tried to hock it. you cant get much for that kind of frog these days. but you can have fun with an amphibian. jsut put him back when your done, back in your pocket, pocket or else he'll jump away. i know its only a frog. its not a cat or a dog. its not a prize winning hog, but dont you knock it, knock it. just the other day i heard this old man say, "i had a frog just like that when i was much, much younger. one day i let ol' oscar get away. one night he lost himself in the fog. and i raised oscar from a pollywog.. i swear to god i do miss that frog." "i had a frog like that when i was much, much younger. one day i let ol' oscar get away. the other night we had a similar fog. i thought i saw him in a hollow log. i swear to god i do miss that frog."

Hopping through the rain forest
Escaping the fire like all the rest
Trying to keep my species alive
Looking for lilies and tasty flies
My legs are pumping as fast as they need to
My legs are drying as quick as glue
I look at the sun for one of my kind
I am a frog and I have a mind
You sold me out, you sold me out
Yeah, I was a frog and now I am a song
Less and less of us everyday
The humans have screwed us the human way
Trees are falling without a sound
Into a river where they drown
You sold me out, you sold me out
Yeah, I was a frog and now I am a song
And I'm running just to be
Yeah, I'm hoping you'll kiss me
I used to be alive
Less and less of us everyday
The humans screwed the human way
Trees are falling without a sound
Into a river where they drown
You sold me out, you sold me out
