When male frogs croak, they are either sending out a signal to search for possible mating partners or they are trying to protect their territory from other male frogs. Mating and territorial protection are more likely to happen after it rains because the ground tends to be wet making it a comfortable environment for frogs. They prefer wet, dark areas because they need moisture to keep their amphibian skin healthy. If put in a hot environment, in direct sunlight, a frog is much more likely to dry out.
4. At the tropics, some species have a rain croak, as they perceive air humidity before a rainfall.
