where do frogs live?

Answers to where do frogs live

Frogs may be found anywhere in the world (excluding Antarctica), although most frogs are found in the tropics. Most species are found in tropical regions. You can find frogs in or near places that have water. Some frogs never go into the water they live mainly on land. Some frogs even live in trees. These frogs have tiny, sticky pads on their fingers and toes to help them cling to the trees they climb.  

Some frogs burrow. One old myth says that frogs fall from the sky during a rain. Actually these burrow frogs leave their burrows during or after a rain at the start of mating season. Because people seldom see these types of frogs the rest of the year, they imagine the animals fell from the sky with the rain. These burrower frogs live on land and have short hind legs and cannot hop. Frogs that live in the colder places hibernate during the winter. They either bury themselves in mud in a pond or marsh or live in a burrow.

If you're looking for a frog, probably the best time to look is at night with a strong torch - when you shine it on the eyes of a frog you'll see a little red flash (like a fox's eyes).

Frogs are found on all continents of the world except Antaractica. Their diversity allows them to live in a wide range of environments, from the coldest of climates to the hottest.

They live near lakes, ponds, and streams. This habitat helps keep their skin moist, which is necessary to their survival.
