Frogs

We want to know
how long are their tongues? how they jump, how far can they jump in inches or feet? how can they go to the store and buy cake? how they go up into the mountains, how they open the cake and eat it, if frogs can push a car with just one frog, if they can live a cold, cold, cold, place or a hot, hot, hot place, or just in the middle, how frogs can see inside the water without goggles, how they fight in the water

Sammy's frog birthday
We went swimming at the Legacy Center for Sam's birthday. I made him a frog cake and we had a movie party at home.

What we learned
-bullfrogs can eat a bird, snake, crab, and other frogs
-strawberry frog, it carries it's tadpoles on it's back and puts it in a little bit of water and puts every egg in water in one tree, then she goes to check on them and gives each one an egg
-leaf frogs blend into the leaves so you can't see them, you can only see the leaf, it's likes it's invisible
-an adult frog's tongue is 12 inches long
how do they catch their food? they blend in, sneak up then jump up catch it with their tongues and use their hands.
-wood frog- can live in the cold, he hibernates, his whole body can turn to ice, when it gets warmer he thaws out and comes back to life
-they like to be awake at night because it is more humid, they need their skin to be wet so they can stay alive. They breathe through their skin, so they need it to be moist.
