• Although frogs are excellent swimmers, most eventually drown if they don't have access to land.

• Frogs generally prefer moist regions (not water). Living, for example, in moist leaf matter. Some species are aquatic, though.

• Although most frogs are not aquatic, the Gastric Brooding Frog or Platypus Frog is an exception. But this isn't the only strange thing about this frog. Click here to learn more about this curious frog.

• Frogs loose water very rapidly in a totally dry atmosphere (normally dying within 3 hours).

• Don't forget to regularly water around where you keep tadpoles so that the ground is moist to heighten the survival rate of young frogs.

• Frogs which spend time underground secrete a substance from their skin which forms a cocoon around them.

• So, now you should understand why a frog without water will need to go to hospital! The frog will need a "hopperation"!
