 | Frogs by Kim Long
Frogs are some of the most common animals in North American ecosystems. Seen and heard in a wide variety of watery environments, their calls can evoke a sense of wilderness even in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Common as they are, frogs are also represented in North America by dozens of different species, each developed in unique ways to best survive and reproduce near the bottom of the food chain, hunted and preyed upon by mammals, reptiles, birds, and even other amphibians.
