Various factors are responsible for the downward trend in frog population globally. The most prominent of these are unsustainable agriculture and aquaculture practices.
Frogs are found all over the world. The world's largest frog species is known as the 'Goliath Frog'. A frog's eyes and nose are on the very top of their heads. Frogs drink water through their skin.
Frogs are cold-blooded members of the amphibian group. They lay eggs in water. Since their larval stage, tadpoles have tails and internal gills that allow them to survive underwater. They develop lungs at a mature stage and thereby can live both in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Their skin is covered with mucus which assists in skin protection and keeping it moist. The frog population serves as a good indicator of ecosystems’ health as they are responsive to atmospheric alteration. They live in a variety of environments including tropics and subtropics while the tropical rainforest has the greatest abundance of this species.
