Frogs

Over 80 illustrations. Frogs and toads are some of the most intriguing creatures of the semi-aquatic world. Their variety is enormous, from the familiar bullfrog of the ponds and lakes to the exotic but deadly arrow-poison frog of the tropical rainforests. In this colorful and informative volume, a sampling of major amphibian species from around the world is shown and detailed. In addition to identification photos of the various species, there are also pictures demonstrating such types of behavior as communication and feeding, defense and locomotion, courtship and mating, and finally, the development from tadpole to adult frog.
