All About Frogs
Or as I like to call them: hoppities
Hello there!
Learn about frogs right here,
right now!
Frogs are small, spring-loaded creatures that seem to live by one simple rule: when in doubt, jump. They spend their days lounging near ponds, hiding in leaves, making mysterious ribbit sounds, and looking like they know a secret about the weather.
Frogs are also nature’s little sound machines. Some croak, some chirp, some trill, and some sound like they are trying to start a tiny swamp orchestra. When a group of frogs gets going at night, it feels like the pond has opened for business and every frog has something extremely important to announce.
There is something deeply funny about a frog just sitting there. They always look like they are either deep in thought, waiting for a bus, or silently judging a nearby bug.
