Frogs start their lives as aquatic tadpoles with gills to breathe. As tadpoles grow into frogs, lungs replace the gills and allow frogs to breathe on land. Frogs' skin is covered by a layer of slime that dissolves oxygen from air and water. Numerous blood vessels present in frogs' thin skin absorb the oxygen.

The thin, porous skin of frogs and tadpoles makes them sensitive creatures. Through this skin, they absorb chemicals from the air and water. For this reason, frogs are good indicators of environmental damage. If you hear many frogs in an area, it means that the local environment is likely to be unspoiled.

How do frogs locate water?
