 Frogs of the ANBG Home Page
Frogs belong to the Class Amphibia, and all are reliant on moisture to breathe, reproduce and generally survive and thrive.
Despite this drawback of a dependence on water, frogs have evolved and diversified in form to occupy a variety of habitats, from rainforests to deserts, from rock faces to subterranean burrows, from free water to sphagnum moss bogs - frogs are found in a surprising number of different spots.
If we accept that frogs are indicator species and this is a warning that environmental changes are taking place, it is in our own interests to take heed of this potential tragedy.
