Making a Claim About your Frog

Frogs are a remarkably diverse group of animals in terms of morphology, behavior, and development. There are over 7,000 species identified, including toads, which are a subset of frogs. Frogs range in size from less than an inch to more than a foot in length, can be almost any color, and can live in all kinds of environments, including arid ones.
