The living habits of frogs

We all know that the frog has a green back, a big mouth, two eyes and four legs, short front legs and long and developed back legs. So, what are the living habits of frogs?

1. Frogs are amphibious animals that live in rice fields, ponds, ditches or grass along rivers, and sometimes lurk in the water. When I was a child, I could only live in the water, but when I grew up, I could live on land. Hibernate in the bottom or cave when the weather gets cold at the end of autumn, and return to the water to breed when the weather gets warmer the following spring.

2. Frogs are omnivorous animals, of which plant food accounts for only about 7% of the diet, and animal food accounts for about 93% of the diet. It is mostly active at night and takes insects as the staple food. most of the insects it eats are agricultural pests, and it also feeds on some field snails, snails, shrimp, small fish and so on. It has been estimated that a frog can prey on 70 insects a day and kill 15000 pests a year.

3. A frog can sing, and there is something bulging around its mouth that can make a sound. Most like to sing on a rainy day in summer, the most joyful time is after the heavy rain, if there is a bark, the next one will follow, whenever at this time, there will be dozens or even hundreds of frogs "quack" endless.

4. A frog can jump on the ground, with a full distance of 20 times its body length, and can swim in the water with the most standard breaststroke posture, but its crawling movement is very slow. Its eyes are slow to see what is still, and what is moving is sharp, so as long as the small flying insects fly by, the frog can quickly stick out its long tongue and eat the pests at once.

5. Frogs are oviparous. They usually lay eggs and fertilize in the water. After the eggs hatch, they become tadpoles. The tadpoles are black, with a round body and a long tail. Tadpoles grow day by day, first grow hind legs, then grow front legs, the tail gradually shortens and degenerates, and finally becomes a frog.
