- Have 3 eyelids
- Can drink water through their skin
- Have a lifespan of 10-12 years.
- Go through metamorphosis
- Can freeze in winter and thaw alive
There are over 5,000 types; here are some:
- Goliath (biggest)

Diet
Most frogs eat arthropods, other things of that size, and even each other. Frog cannibalism is quite common. However, frogs eat members of their own species about a third as often as they ate frogs of species other than their own. Aquatic frogs eat a multitude of aquatic invertebrates. Frogs require living food.
