Interesting Facts About Frogs

Did you know that a group of adult frogs is referred to as an Army of frogs? Other collective nouns for frogs include a colony and a knot.

Frogs legs are considered a delicacy in China, Greece, New Orleans, and of course France. Consequently, these areas have frog farms to cater for demand.

Frogs will only eat something that moves; in nature that would be insects, or maybe spiders.

Frog farmers soon learn that frogs are not tempted by dead meat. Tadpoles on the other hand, are vegetarian.

Unlike reptiles, amphibians, such as frogs, always return to water to breed. (Think of frogspawn). However, there is a midwife frog where the male carries the frogspawn around on his body. When he senses the time is ripe, he swims out into the water and the tiny tadpoles emerge from their egg-jelly and swim away.

Frogs, can change their colour to suit their background; not as spectacularly as chameleons, but enough to save them from a casual predator.

Ranidaphobia means fear of frogs; however there is no need to worry that touching them will give you warts, that's just one of the many myths surrounding frogs.
