• A frog is an amphibian which means that it does not have a backbone. Frogs live part of their life in water and part on land. Amphibians are cold blooded creatures, this means their body temperature is the same as the environment.

• Frogs are able to absorb water into their skin. This means they do not have to drink water to survive.

• Frogs have strong hind legs which is why they can hop very far.
