Title: Look at this bullfrog croaking


1
Look at this bullfrog croaking!
2
Most male frogs and toads puff up their throats
when they make a sound. Not all frogs and toads
make the same sound.
3
There are little tree frogs, called spring
peepers, that peep.
4
In Texas, there are frogs that bark like dogs.
5
The green frog makes a twanging sound like the
bass string of a banjo.
6
Frogs and toads are amphibians. That means they
live both on land and in water.
7
Frogs are usually found around marshes, ponds, or
other wet places.
8
Toads live mostly on dry land.
9
Frogs have shiny, smooth skin.
10
Toads have rough, bumpy skin.
11
Both are often brownish or dark green in color,
12
with stripes or markings in other colors.
13
But some frogs are bright green, blue, white,
yellow, or red.
14
Frogs can jump farther than toads.
15
Many frogs have webbed feet that help them swim.
16
Tree frogs have special pads on their toes that
help them climb.
17
Most toads and frogs lay their eggs in water,
where the eggs hatch into tadpoles.
18
A tadpole looks like a fish. It has gills for
breathing under the water and a tail.
19
After a while, the tadpole begins to grow legs
and to lose its tail. Its gills are replaced by
lungs and it can breathe air just like you do. It
can live out of water.
20
It can shoot out its long, sticky tongue and
catch insects to eat. Now its a toad or a frog!
