No tail here. Frogs belong to a group called Anura, which means 'without a tail.' Adult frogs have short bodies and no tail at all.

Two-world life. Frogs are semiaquatic, meaning they split their time between water and land. That's part of what makes them amphibians.

Toad or frog?. Toads are just frogs with rougher, bumpy skin from wart-like glands. The difference is only about looks, not science!

Backbone buddies. Frogs are vertebrates, which means they have a backbone, just like fish, birds, and you.
