Frog

Frogs are amphibians in the order Anura (meaning "tail-less", from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin salere (salio), "to jump"). Most frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Frogs are widely known as exceptional jumpers, and many of the anatomical characteristics of frogs, particularly their long, powerful legs, are adaptations to improve jumping performance. Due to their permeable skin, frogs are often semi-aquatic or inhabit humid areas, but move easily on land. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season.
The distribution of frogs ranges from tropic to subarctic regions, but most species are found in tropical rainforests. Consisting of more than 5,000 species described, they are among the most diverse groups of vertebrates. However, populations of certain frog species are declining significantly.
A distinction is often made between frogs and toads on the basis of their appearance, caused by the convergent adaptation among so-called toads to dry environments; however, this distinction has no taxonomic basis. The only family exclusively given the common name "toad" is Bufonidae, but many species from other families are also called "toads," and the species within the toad genus Atelopus are referred to as "harlequin frogs".
The name frog derives from Old English frogga, (compare Old Norse frauki, German Frosch, older Dutch spelling kikvorsch), cognate with Sanskrit plava (frog), probably deriving from Proto-Indo-European praw = "to jump".[1]

Buy Ugg Boots Online

save huge amounts of money by buying your Ugg boots online. It is always cheaper to buy from the internet, rather than to buy from well known shopping centers. The reason for is that the well known shopping centers have to pay extra bills that an online company would not have to pay. For example, wages, electricity, heating, rent bills etc. Some might think that perhaps the shopping centers would surely buy in bigger bulk so can therefore sell the products at a cheaper price - however this is not always the case. More and more people are using the internet on a daily basis to do their shopping, and therefore the orders going through the internet for items such as clothing and fashion are shooting up every day. The shops that have been dominant for so many years are now starting to realise that in order to keep up with the online companies, they themselves will have to start trying out a few new tricks of their own, and many are in fact now selling their stocks from the internet, and many will deliver straight to your door.
