Frogs live almost everywhere, from tropical forests to frozen tundra, from scorching deserts to your backyard. Even though you have probably seen a frog or two, you might be surprised by these amazingly adaptive animals.
Frogs have been hopping around earth for more than 360 million years, while humans have been around for only 2.5 million years.
Frogs are some of the best leapers on the planet. Some species can launch themselves more than 20 times their own body length. That would be like if you jumped more than 100 feet! The longest frog jump on record was 33 feet 5.5 inches.
