The Life Cycle of a Frog

Life Cycle -

Eggs - Frogs lay up to 4000 eggs at one time, they all group together in a sticky substance.











Tadpoles - Tadpoles hatch from frog eggs, this is the early stage of their life.

Froglets - Tadpoles grow arms and legs but keep the tail to swim













Frogs - The froglets then shrink their tail and grow lungs to breathe air.

Why frogs are cool.

Frogs are cool - 

Frogs have to be the most amazing creature ever. they have every colour known to man on their body depending on the species but there are also the brown and plain frogs who have expanding chest and go 'ribbit' this makes them the most intriguing and mind blowing creature ever. some are poisonous, some are big, some are small, some are colourful, some are not this doesn't matter in the fact that they're also intelligent , they can understand human behaviour and weather change they are also very good at escaping predators especially the poison ones. there was this one frog called a mud frog that I found that creates its own pool for its offspring out of mud next to rivers and lakes. This makes it very smart as it means that predators like fish and crocodiles cant eat the eggs from within the lake. Also there was this other frog that managed to scare off a cat with its noises that it makes. 

Frogs are dying.

Frogs in danger-

These colourful amphibians are slowly becoming less and less in numbers due to forest being cut down for cheap wood just so that you can have a new desk or a new chair. Think of the effect you as the main consumer are having on these wonderful creatures. they're losing their habitat and their numbers are declining. from now on don't buy furniture that is not from wood produced in the UK as it means that you're taking a frogs home.
I am setting up a frog charity to start protests in the Amazon forest to stop big companies from chopping down the tree's and using them for paper, furniture, fire and more. this is having drastic affect on the frogs. we plan to send 10 willing people out to the Amazon to protest against logging in the area.
We are hoping for a great deal of support on this matter as we believe it is a crucial point in the survival of this species.

Different species of frogs that can be kept at home.

There are over 4000 species of frogs, but only a selective few can be kept at home underwater -

African Clawed Frog's -



African Clawed Frog

These are fully aquatic frogs that only need to be fed once a day.









Sunuriam Frog

Fully aquatic - hard to look after due to breeding









These pets are very difficult to look after and can cause problems in some homes such as smells or dead food being left to rot. they also jump out of tanks of water quite quickly. They should be kept in a temperature regulated tropical fish tank and fed with blood worms that can be bought frozen into cubes these would feed 2 frogs per cube. you should also get so foliage for the water to make the frogs sense that it is in its own habitat.

What happens if you touch a poison dart frog?

What happens when you touch a poison dart frog? - 


Blue poison-Dart Frog

Poison dart frogs are very common in humid countries. They're most commonly found in the Amazon forest where natives used to use the skin to attack enemy tribes. These frogs were quite important to the survival of these tribes from other tribes that seeked war. They secrete poison from their skin however it is known that if these frogs are raised in captivity then they do not achieve a very strong poison as they gain this from the food that they eat in the wild including various insects and fruits. The toxicity of the poison can depend on the sub-specie too as most cannot penetrate through unbroken skin. this becomes a problem if a frog touches a cut or wound, this is when you must seek medical attention. if you have no cuts then you will be fine touching the frog. The skin of the poison of the Golden Dart Frog contains enough alkaloid chemical batrachotoxin to kill 20,000 mice and between 8-100 adult humans, so beware.
