All fossils sold are authentic and one-of-a-kind. No replicas. Frog, any of various tailless amphibians belonging to the order Anura. Used strictly, the term may be limited to any member of the family Ranidae (true frogs), but more broadly the name frog is often used to distinguish the smooth-skinned, leaping anurans from squat, warty, hopping ones, which are called toads.In general, frogs have protruding eyes, no tail, and strong, webbed hind feet that are adapted for leaping and swimming. They also possess smooth, moist skins. Many are predominantly aquatic, but some live on land, in burrows, or in trees. A number depart from the typical form. Sedge frogs, for example, are climbing African frogs with adhesive toe disks. The flying frogs are tree-dwelling, Old World rhacophorids; they can glide 40 to 50 feet by means of expanded webbing between the fingers and toes.The snout-vent length of frogs ranges from 0.4 inch in the Brazilian Psyllophryne didactyla to 12 inches in the West African Conraua goliath. The male anuran is generally smaller than the female. Although many frogs have poisonous skin glands, these toxins do not usually provide protection from predatory mammals, birds, and snakes. Edible anurans rely on camouflage; some blend with their backgrounds, while others change colors. Several species have bright colors on their underparts that flash when the frog moves, possibly confusing enemies or serving as a warning of the frog’s toxicity. Most frogs eat insects, other small arthropods, or worms, but a number of them also eat other frogs, rodents, and reptiles. FR003
