A Frog Resting Beside the Pond

The frog sits at the center of the bank, surrounded by upright reeds and tufts of grass. Behind it, the pond leads toward a row of softly rising hills, and the upper background is open. The animal’s resting posture places it between the shelter of the shore plants and the nearby water.

Interesting Facts About Frogs at the Water’s Edge

Reeds and grasses can give frogs shade and cover from animals that might spot them in the open. A pond bank also allows a frog to move quickly between land and water when searching for food or escaping danger. Although frogs are amphibians, many species spend a considerable amount of time on land after reaching adulthood.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does a frog rest close to a pond?
The water offers a quick escape route and helps the frog keep its skin moist. The shoreline can also attract insects that the frog eats.
Do frogs drink pond water with their mouths?
Frogs absorb much of the water they need through a specialized area of skin on the underside of the body. They do not usually drink by swallowing water as people do.
How do reeds help animals living near a pond?
Dense stems provide hiding places and protection from wind. They also create perches and sheltered spaces used by insects, birds, amphibians, and other pond wildlife.
