Frogs are classified as amphibians. Amphibians are creatures that spend most of their lives in water but can also survive on land. Frogs are no exception, for they are born in water, spend most of their lives in aquatic habitats, but can also hunt for food and shelter on dry ground. They are one of the planet's most adaptable creatures. There are thousands of frogs species, and they can be found all over the world.
Most frogs choose to spend their lives in ponds and streams in the tropics.
Others, though, only need the moisture found on leaves and under logs to survive. In the summer of 1996, deformed frogs were reported all over the state. Late that summer, we began hearing that deformed frogs were being found in other states as well, even in other countries. Frog populations around the world have showed increasing signs of stress in recent years. Some species have disappeared, and others are no longer found where they used to be.
