The Egyptians used the outline (a character of the frogs profile) of the frog as the number 100,000. So you can ask someone what is frog plus frog and they wont know its 200,000. Bufo means toad n Roman and in English its buffoon so when you say buffoon your saying toadoon. Witch is very weird.

170 species in nine genera of poison frogs live in rain forests and humid forests. So when you visit a rain forest be very careful. Shovel nosed frogs actually burrow there heads in the ground. So they are hard to see.

Life Cycle of frogs

The eggs will hatch within 3-25 days depending on the species and water temperature. If it is warmer, it will be faster. Colder temperature will slow down the hatching. Eggs vary in size, color and shape with different species. The eggs are usually covered with s jellylike substance which acts as a protective coating. Even the jelly differs depending on species.

Young frogs are called tadpoles or polliwogs. They do not look like frogs yet. They look more like little fish. They have a tail and have external gills which they breath through. Tadpoles eat plants and decaying animal matter. However, some will egg other frog eggs and even tadpoles. As the tadpole develop, it will first grow the hind legs and then the front legs or arms. The tail slowly retracts and disappears and the frog hops up to the land as an adult.

Not all eggs or tadpoles will make it to the adult stage. There are many threats like ducks, fish, insects and other water creatures that will eat the eggs. When they are tadpoles, they still face danger like being eaten by larger water animals or die when the pond dries up. How fast tadpoles turn into an adult depend on the species and their natural surrounding. It might take a less than 2 weeks or even up to a few months.
