Where are frogs from?
Over 400,000,000 years ago, fish which were probably the most advanced life forms lived in the water. Until then, plants and insects occupied the land alone. Most all amphibians have features and characteristics of fish and reptiles. Some of the most common amphibians are frogs, toads, and salamanders. They have changed very little since they first began breathing on land, some of the earliest amphibians were ancestors of today’s birds, reptiles, and mammals. The word amphibian comes from the Greek word, “amphi” meaning “both”, and “bios” meaning “life”. It is describing cold blooded animals that have backbones that can survive both on land and in fresh water. You can find amphibians living on land near ponds, lakes, swamps, and near riverbanks.
