Did You Know?

Have you ever wondered how a tiny tadpole turns into a hopping frog? Frogs belong to a group of animals called amphibians. This group also includes toads, newts and salamanders. These animals start life in water, breathing with gills, and later grow up to live on land and breathe air. All amphibians need to keep their skin moist. If it dries out, they will die.
