Frog 青蛙 (1)

Splish, splash. What is that sound? What is hopping and jumping around? What loves to swim? What loves to eat bugs? It’s a frog. Can you hop like a frog?

Frogs live all over the world, except Antarctica. Frogs usually live in wet places. They like rivers, lakes, and ponds. But some frogs live in trees. Some even live in the desert. Frogs can be found all over the world. Wherever they live, that’s their habitat.

Look at this frog croaking! Some frog’s throats puff up when they make sounds. Each type of frog makes its own sound. The coqui frog is named after the sound it makes. It sounds like “CO-KEE!” This frog is the size of a quarter. Even small frogs can make loud noises.

Frogs make different sounds for different reasons. Sometimes it’s to warn other frogs of danger. Sometimes it’s to call to frogs nearby. Dancing frog lives around noisy waterfalls. Other frogs would not be able to hear its calls. So it dances instead! It sticks out one leg, and then the other. Can you dance like this frog?
