Satire | FROG, n. A reptile with edible legs. The first mention of frogs in profane literature is in Homer's narrative of the war between them and the mice. Skeptical persons have doubted Homer's authorship of the work, but the learned, ingenious and industrious Dr. Schliemann has set the question forever at rest by uncovering the bones of the slain frogs. One of the forms of moral suasion by which Pharaoh was besought to favor the Israelities was a plague of frogs, but Pharaoh, who liked them fricasees, remarked, with truly oriental stoicism, that he could stand it as long as the frogs and the Jews could; so the programme was changed. The frog is a diligent songster, having a good voice but no ear. The libretto of his favorite opera, as written by Aristophanes, is brief, simple and effective -- "brekekex-koax"; the music is apparently by that eminent composer, Richard Wagner. Horses have a frog in each hoof -- a thoughtful provision of nature, enabling them to shine in a hurdle race. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |

Frogs
A frog. (Click here to enlarge image)Scientific classification
Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Amphibia Order: Anura Family: Ranidae
Genera Many: see text A frog is a fresh-water amphibian of the family Ranidae, in the Order Anura. They are closely related to toads. The Ranidae are sometimes called the "true frogs" since a few members of other families also have common names including the word "frog".
Types and characteristics of frogs
Frogs are a a diverse group, and there are 4800 species. Most spend their lives in or near a source of water (water frogs), although tree frogs live in moist environments that are not actually aquatic environments. The requirement for water becomes most acute for egg and tadpole stages of the frog, yet here again some species are able to utilize temporary pools and water collected in the axils of plants.The most familiar frogs are the Bullfrog, the Edible frog, the Leopard Frogs, and the Green Frogs.
Frogs range in size from less than 50mm to 300mm in Conraua goliath, which is the largest known frog. All frogs have horizontal pupils. Their skin is smooth and they have long legs with webbing between the toes. This family has a bicornuated tongue that is attached in front, they also have a tympanum on each side of their head, which is involved in sound productin. Most frogs have deep, booming calls, or croaks, with some being onomatopoeically represented by the word "ribbet".
Many species of frog secrete toxins from their skin when under threat. These toxins deter predatory animals from eating them, and some are extremely poisonous to humans. The natives of the Amazon area extract curare from the poison arrow frog.
Distribution and Status
Members of this family are found worldwide, but they have a limited distribution in South America, and Australia. They do not occur in the West Indies and on most oceanic islands.In many parts of the world the frog population has declined drastically over the last few decades. Pollutants are one cause for this decline but other culprits include climatic changes, parasitic infestation, introduction of non-indigenous predators/competitors, infectious diseases, and urban encroachment.
Life cycle
The life cycle of a frog involves several stages. A female frog lays her eggs in a shallow pond or creek, where they will be sheltered from the current and from predators. The eggs, known as frogspawn hatch into tadpoles, and this tadpole stage develops gradually into an adolescent froglet, which resembles an adult instead of having the sperm-like appearance of a tadpole but still has a vestigial tail, and finally into an adult frog. Typically, tadpoles are herbivores, feeding mostly on algae, whereas juvenile and adult frogs are rather voracious carnivores. Furthermore, The red-legged frogs normally reproduce from November to early April because during these months, the water is about six or seven degrees Celsius. Under these cool conditions, it is ensure the embryonic survival. Amplexus is the process when the male grasps the female while she lays her eggs. At the same time, he fertilizes them with the fluid containing sperm. The eggs are about 2.0 to 2.8 milliliters in diameter and are dark brown. After about six to fourteen days, the eggs hatch between July and September into brown tadpoles that are about thre inches long. The tadpoles start to lose their tails, grow legs, and change into a juvenile form of the adult frog with their characteristics that looks like frogs.

In 2003, Franky Bossuyt of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels) and S.D. Biji of the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in Palode, India reported the discovery of a new species of frog so distinct in appearance and DNA that it merited its own new family, the first new family for frogs since 1926. This new species, dubbed Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis, is dark purple in color, seven centimeters in length, and has a small head and a pointy snout. Genetically, its closest living relatives are the sooglossids found in the Seychelles. The new species was discovered in the Sahyadri (Western Ghats) Mountains in India.
