Frogs -by Allison Wu

              Frogs are so interesting that there are about a million facts about frogs. There are many types of frogs that live in different parts of the world. Frogs live everywhere except Antarctica. Some live in trees, rivers, lakes, ponds, and deserts. Many people think that a toad is not a frog. Actually, a toad is a kind of frog, although there are a lot of differences between them. A toad always has a poisonous pouch, no teeth, and has dry, bumpy skin. It has short legs for walking. A frog does not have to be poisonous. A frog has teeth on the upper jaw. Its skin is moist and smooth. It has long legs for jumping. Watch out! Some frogs may seem pretty but they can be poisonous. Their colorful skin is to warn enemies to not eat them. One of the most dangerous frog is the Terribilis, also known as the golden dart frog. Terribilis are smaller than your finger but they have enough poison to kill 20,000 mice. Frogs are very interesting animals.
