Meanwhile, in fact, experts are becoming increasingly concerned that many frog and other amphibian species are in grave danger. There are both basic and complex conservation efforts that will safeguard the survival of our native frog species in the future. Amphibians, or frogs, are amphibians, which is a Greek term that means 'two lives.'

The majority of adult frogs reside in wet areas near streams or ponds in the forests. They go to ponds, marshes, and seasonal pools to lay their eggs during mating season, which occurs in the spring. The eggs begin to hatch.

Tadpoles are a fully aquatic stage that breathes through gills and feeds on algae. Depending on the species, there are a variety of options.They can spend up to a year in the tadpole stage before developing legs and lungs and moving on lands. Small fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and rodents are all eaten by some frogs. A robust frog population was shown to be eliminating over 50,000 insects per acre per year from one location under examination in a recent survey.
