1. Frogs are in the phylum Chordata.

Answer: True

Any animal with a backbone is in phylum Chordata.

2. Which of these is NOT a common defense mechanism for frogs?

Answer: moist skin

Frogs can change color because light can cause their skin cells to contract and expand. Moist skin can't defend frogs. It's just for aiding in absorbing oxygen.

3. Most species are found in which rainforest?

Answer: Amazon Rainforest

There are over 5,000 species of frog. There are over 1,000 of them in this rainforest alone.

4. One distinction between frogs and toads is that frogs usually live near water.

Answer: True

Fire-bellied toads are an exception! They're toads because of their rough skin, but they prefer water.

5. Frog calls are amplified in their...

Answer: vocal sacs

Frogs call by passing air through their throats, then amplifying it in a vocal sac.

6. What are frogs' teeth called?

Answer: Maxillary Teeth

Most people think frogs don't have teeth, but they do. They don't use them to chew their food though. They swallow their food whole, but use the maxillary teeth to hold it in place. They are found on the roof of the mouth.

7. Poison dart frogs (aka poison arrow frogs) get their name from tribes in ___.

Answer: South America

The tribal people would take the poison from these frogs and would put it on the tips of their darts. They used these for hunting.

8. Which is not a suborder of frogs?

Answer: Sarprabatrachia

Sarprabatrachia is a made-up suborder. The others are all suborders for common frogs.

9. This species can freeze itself for the winter and lives north of the Arctic circle.

Answer: Wood frog

The wood frog buries itself in the ice every winter. Their blood and most tissue can freeze, but to be sure the entire frog doesn't freeze, urea and glucose are created. This prevents over-freezing.

10. Which species of frog carries its tadpoles in its throat?

Answer: Darwin's Frog

A male Darwin's Frog carries the tadpoles in its throat until it's grown. It then releases them a few weeks later. They were named after Charles Darwin.
