25 - Frogs

Scanned, not typed



Some frogs are coming up. Kind of weird. They start popping up with too .many lets, or have no lets or their legs are growing in weird places. Like in their stomachs! Many people have seen them around the world.

Frogs are amphibians; they live on land and in water. All amphibians depend on the outside environment for body heat, they are exothermic.

That's why we might see a frog sunbathing on a lily pad.

All frogs are. Four- legged tailless creatures with smooth or warty skin that usually is moist.

They never have claws on their toes. Many but different types of frogs deposit jelly like clusters of eggs in water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles. There are lots of different frogs about 3,700 species, and frogs live almost every where in the whole.

Program There are many different types of frogs like the South American horned frog, the Red eyed tree frog, the painted reed frog, the water holding frog. I could name them all day but, there are too many. Scientist uses a universal system to keep track of frogs and millions of other things on earth. The system is called taxonomy. It's really a way of grouping or classifying things. We use - classification systems everyday. For instance we know there's a difference between a rattlesnake and a zucchini. And we know that a chicken has something in common with an eagle. That's basic taxonomy.

In, conclusion, that's how frogs survived the extinction of dinosaurs, how frogs are vanishing from earth, how frog's are coming up weird. There are many types of frogs.

So is and frogs are Being watched h a I a thing "s called taxonomy. I hope I learn even more about frogs.

  1. Well, that's interesting about the deformed frogs. I wonder if something is making that happen, like chemicals in the water or something. Hmmm...
    My favorite frog is the Red-eyed Tree Frog. They are just too cute.
    You did a great job on your story! ^_^
