Frogs are overwhelmingly the most abundant amphibians in the rainforest. * More than 1000 species of frogs are found in the Amazon Basin. * Unlike temperate frogs which are mostly limited to habitats near water, tropical frogs are most abundant in the trees and relatively few are found near bodies of water on the forest floor. The reason for this occurrence is quite simple: frogs must always keep their skin moist since almost half of their respiration in carried out through their skin. The high humidity of the rainforest and frequent rainstorms gives tropical frogs infinitely more freedom to move into the trees and escape the many predators of rainforest waters. The differences between temperate and tropical frogs extend beyond their habitat. Whereas nearly all temperate frogs lay their eggs in water, the majority of rainforest species place eggs in vegetation or lay them in the ground. By leaving the water, frogs avoid egg-predators like fish, shrimp, aquatic insects, and insect... See less

A frog is an amphibian in the order Anura. Adult frogs are characterised by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits, protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable through their call, which can be widely heard during the mating season. The distribution of frogs ranges from tropic to subarctic regions, with most of the species found in tropical rainforests. With over 5,000 species described, they are among the most diverse groups of vertebrates. However the declining numbers of certain species of frogs are increasingly giving cause for concern. A distinction is often made between frogs and toads on the basis of their appearance, prompted by the convergent... See less

Take a pot of hot water and a frog. Throw the frog into the pot. What do you think will happen? The obvious, of course: the frog will jump out. Who likes hanging around in a pot of hot water? Now ... take a pot of cold water, put the frog in it, and place the pot on the stove. Turn on the heat. This time something different will occur. The frog, because of the incremental change in temperature, will not notice that it is slowly being boiled. (from "Life and Death in the Executive Fast Lane" by Manfred Kets de Vries) Professor Doug Melton, Harvard University Biology Department, says, "If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die. If you put it in cold water, it will jump before it gets hot -- they don't sit still for you."[1] * Frogs fall from the sky in various urban myths and notably in the movie Magnolia. This may derive from incidents when frogs are picked up by a tornado, or when a sudden migration of frogs happens overnight. This has also happened with fish. See less

Frogs and toads have flat, broad heads with bulging eyes that allow them to see in all directions. Frogs will often sit in the water with only their eyes and nose above the surface. They don't have external ears, but you can see the exposed eardrums behind the eyes. Most frogs also have a good sense of smell. The eyelids can't move and to close its eyes, the frog must draw them into their sockets. This is also done while swallowing food, since the drawn-in eyes put pressure on the food and this helps it move down the throat! Frogs do have teeth in their upper jaw, but these are feeble and useless for chewing. They are only used for getting a better grip on the prey. This prey can be anything living that fits into the frog's mouth: insects, spiders, snails, worms and small fish; bigger frogs may even eat mammals, like mice, small birds or other frogs. Many frogs use their long, sticky tongue to catch their prey. Not all frogs have a long tongue; those that don't use their fingers to... See less

A rare frog that lives in rushing streams and waterfalls in east-central China is able to make itself heard above the roar of flowing water by communicating ultrasonically, scientists reported. Attributes that enable the frog to hear ultrasounds are made possible by the presence of an ear canal, which most other frogs don't have. "Our research points out an elegant and novel solution to the problem of communication in high levels of background noise," said Peter Narins, UCLA professor of physiological science and ecology and evolutionary biology, and co-author of the study. "In addition, we now add amphibians to the small group of vertebrates (bats, whales and some rodents) that use ultrasound for communication. This study may provide a clue for understanding why humans have ear canals: to improve sensitivity to high-frequency sounds." See less

Frog's song calls down the cleansing power of the rain. Frog is a reminder of the sacred power of tears to tranform and cleanse away sorrow. Frogs will die if away from moisture for too long, and thus Frog reminds us to refresh ourselves, and allow joy to moisten our lives and our hearts. If you are feeling "muddied" by the world, take a moment to dream, to laugh and cry and renew yourself. Frog also reminds us to cleanse our bodies, our environments and our auric fields. People with Frog energy should learn and utilize methods of psychic cleansing. Frog is able to work equally well in the realms of Earth/Air (conscious) and in Water (unconscious.), taking in the unconsicious almost by osmosis. Frog people are often artists, mystics, psychics and healers. They are often empathic, excellent at reading others and in knowing how to help them heal. Care must be taken however, not to become swamped by taking in the emotions of others. Frog reminds us to cleanse our bodies, our environments... See less

Frogs range all across the world, with the exception of Iceland and Antarctica. There are approximately 4000 species of frogs and toads, from the tiny Peeper to the brightly colored poison arrow frog, and even the Gastric Brooding Frog which can turn off its own gastric juices and incubate its young in it's stomach! Although there are some species which go through their entire tadpole stage within the egg, and emerge as frogs, most frogs begin their lives as aqueous tadpoles, and eventually transform themselves into air-breathing creatures which can live on land. Many frogs live in ponds and swamps, but some can live in woodland areas, so long as they can find moisture. Famed for their leaping abilities, some frogs can jump as much as 20 times their body length in one leap. The greatest recorded distance in a single leap belongs to a South African Sharp-nosed frog which leapt 33 feet, 5.5 inches. Frogs eat insects as their primary food source, although there are frogs who eat mice and... See less

For me, one of the most welcome signs of spring is the evening chorus of the spring peepers who live in the ponds and streams which lace the woods behind my house. Their song heralds the earth's rebirth and renewal. The idea of renewal is widely associated with water, which in turn represents the unblocking and flow of energy for healing. Frog, as an animal who spends its earliest life nurtured in water and who never is far from it, is in both North and South American Native and Celtic traditions identified with healing. Frog is believed to call the rains when they are needed. Water cleanses and replenishes the earth, and in terms of healing, this animal's medicine can help when our lives feel dry and dull, when we feel mired in the mud of circumstances, or when we have allowed emotional toxins to poison our outlook on life. The deepest levels of healing are accomplished on the emotional level. Emotions are associated with water, especially in the context of tears. If we are brought up... See less

Keyword summary: cleansing, renewal. Frogs are representatives of the rain, the spring showers that cleanse us. The energy of frog will often appear in your life after a period of hardship and struggle. The rain will signal that a cleansing is taking place and a part of your very being is being metaphorically washed. The frog may be asking you to leave memories behind, and even though you may be pleased to see the back of them, or rather the negative effect they had on you, there is still a sense of sadness because it signals that nothing lasts forever. So frog asks you to stay in the present time because that is the only place worth being. It is the only place to be happy. If you choose to wear the symbol of frog you are asking to be aware of your life, to become a player in life’s adventure. You are announcing with a ‘ribbit’ your intention, like in a round of poker, to say ‘I’m in’. You are saying yes to life, and yes to progress. You are calling for refreshment on life’s road, to...

(1) This may be a sexual symbol, representing male gentials. As such it would appear in a woman's dreams and might express a fear of sex, or an ambivalent fear - facination feeling towards it. (2) The frog may symbolize the unconscious, or some part or function of the psyche that still lies buried in your unconscious, perhaps something that you find horrifying or disgusting because of some traumatic experiences that gave rise to anxiety and/or guilt feelings. {3} Perhaps the frog in your dream comes from the story of the Frog-Prince. In the story a young woman is visited in her bed by a frog. At first, the girl is horrified and pushes the frog away. On the third night, however, she relents, and in the insuing embrace the frog is transformed into a handsome prince. Ernest Jones, a follower and biographer of Freud, says this is a story of a virgin overcoming her sexual fear.
