Frogs and toads are species of tailless
amphibians, with short, squad front legs and muscular hind legs
adapted for hopping or leaping. Their life cycle includes a "tadpole"
phase, in which they appear almost fish-like right out of the egg,
but gradually grow legs and absorb their tail. Adults may stay close
to water their entire lives, or go on to live entirely on land,
depending upon the species.

Poison Dart frogs (also called poison arrow frogs) come
in a variety of brilliant and striking colors and patterns. But it's
not just a pretty name to go with a pretty frog -- tribes native to
the rainforests where the frogs live use the poisonous secretions
from their skin to tip their arrows and darts. Some species are so
toxic that they can kill within seconds after their poison enters
the bloodstream. |

Breathe slowly.
A hibernating frog needs so little oxygen that it gets all the air it needs to stay alive by breathing through its own skin. The moisture it needs is absorbed through the skin as well.
