Wood frogs experience very little of the winter because they are frozen solid for the coldest eight months of the year. This is a high-risk strategy! If ice crystals form inside their body, they ...

Dendrobates is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America. It once contained numerous species, but most originally placed in this genus have been split off into other genera such as Adelphobates, Ameerega, Andinobates, Epipedobates, Excidobates, Oophaga, Phyllobates and Ranitomeya (essentially all the brightly marked poison dart frogs; i.e. excluding the duller genera in ...
Several of the genera within the Leptodactylidae lay their eggs in foam nests. These can be in crevices, on the surface of water, or on forest floors. These foam nests are some of the most varied among frogs. When eggs hatch in nests on the forest floor, the tadpoles remain within the nest, without eating, until metamorphosis.
Limnonectes is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of 91 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs.
