AquaFact of the Day

Frogs are members of the class Amphibia. Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrate animals that lack scales and generally return to the water to breed. Frogs have squat bodies, long muscular hind legs, typically lack tails and metamorphose. True toads are frogs too. The frogs that we most commonly call toads in Canada belong to the genus Bufo.
