Love the rain | 5 July 2009 | par : remy

Frogs (and toads and tree frogs) love rain. They are all amphibians, a group that contains close to 3,500 different species found in nearly every country on earth.

Frogs and water

Frogs are amphibians. They spend the first phase of their lives entirely in the water, as tadpoles, before growing to their adult form. This is when they emerge from the water to live on dry land.

However, adult frogs never stray far from the water (ponds, streams or lakes), and especially like rainy weather. Their bodies must stay damp and they need water to prevent their skin from drying out.

To move around on land, frogs walk or hop; in the water they are excellent swimmers.
