Water holding frog diet Videos

nice frogs ;) you should get me one ;) mum would love one lol

that is so cool!I read that sometimes frogs can be found alive inside rocks and coal that has been untouched for hundreds,thousands,and even millions of years! I don't know if it's true but people suspect they go into hybernation in soft sediment and don't wake up even as the mud around them turns into rock. also frogs sometimes rain from the sky, it has happened several times throughout history, and people suspect water spouts (tornados sucking water into the sky from seas and lakes) cause it

While the correlation between rainfall and arid amphibian emergence has been well documented, the actual relationship has been suggested to be a secondary environmental cue for emergence (Carvalho et al. 2010). The authors of a large review on aestivation (Navas and Carvalho 2010) state that the timing of surface activity to reproduce is essential for many amphibians. However, female frogs in arid environments in Brazil and North America have exhibited developed ovaries well in advance of any cues that would forecast rainfall in their local environments. Other studies reviewed by Carvalho et al. have observed that many adult amphibians have been captured with food in their stomachs just prior to the onset of rainfall, suggesting that these individuals were active and foraging well before any rain showers. It should also be noted that there are some arid adapted frogs that demonstrate activity having little to do with rainfall at all. The species Breviceps macrops is endemic to white sand dunes in the succulent Karoo of Namibia and South Africa, which receives most of its moisture from more than 100 days of coastal fog per year, and B. macrops can be active at any time during the foggy seasons. (Channing and Wahlberg 2011). While it is clear that the physical nature of rain drops penetrating soil is unlikely to be “the” cue that causes arid land amphibians to be active, it is undeniable that many frog species concentrate their activity to periods coinciding with rain.

Frog Juice: It's the quenchiest! Crack open a cold one!

Why are there no nerves in the elbow or how come you can't feel anything when you pinch the skin on your elbow. .. 

I know some animals collect and store food in the Fall to prepare for hibernation. Do all animals eat it and then get energy from their body fat or are there animals that do it differently? Because I looked for images of squirrels hibernating and they didn't look "fatter".

I have a new word to describe politicians! You disgusting estivators!

Why do we puke vomit or throw up +scishow 

Why in the world would the lungfish have to do it. Its literally surrounded by water.
