HERE are some interesting facts about frogs:

Frog are amphibians - they lay their eggs in water; tadpoles hatch out of the eggs and these tadpoles metamorphosise into adult frogs.

Tadpoles look more like fish than frogs; they have long finned tails and breathe through gills.

An amphibian can live both on land and in water.

Frogs live on land, but their habitat must be near swamps, ponds or in a damp place.

This is because they will die if their skin dries out.

Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin.
