The Life of Frogs
Frogs, with over 7,000 species, are a diverse and largely carnivorous group of amphibians dating back to the Permian Period, around 265 million years ago. Found globally except in Antarctica, they represent 88% of all amphibians. Male frogs have unique calls for mating, and their lifecycle includes a metamorphosis from water-breathing tadpoles to land-capable adults. Frogs’ skin plays a vital role in respiration and health. However, since the 1980s, over 120 species have gone extinct, with a third threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and diseases like chytridiomycosis, highlighting significant environmental concerns.
