Frogs!

Slimy, squishy, super cool


look at this little guy!

Frogs are any member of the incredibly diverse order Anura (or "without tail" in ancient Greek). Despite their variety, they are all short-bodied, tailless amphibians. There are about 7,300 recorded species of frogs, which is about 88% of all amphibians. Frogs are environmental bellwethers, meaning scientists use the health of frog populations to help judge the general health of an ecosystem. More than one third of species are considered threatened and over 120 species have gone extinct since the 1980s.
Frogs are an important part of many ecosystems, from subarctic regions to tropical rainforests!
