We are going to teach you all about frogs and frog bogs. We became experts by reading a book about frog bogs and interviewing Mr. Berger who is a nature expert!
Types of Frogs
There are 17 to 18 types of frogs in Illinois. Here are some types of frogs: leopard frogs and spring peepers. There are also bull frogs and they can jump up to 6 feet. Some can be big and some can be very big. They could fit on your fingernail!
Food
Frogs can eat all types of insects, not just flies! They can eat anything they can catch. Here are some examples: flies, birds, ants, bees, and spiders. You shouldn't use bug spray because that would kill their food! Bullfrogs can eat birds.
Body
A frog's skin is wet. They have several layers of skin. They are soft. Their legs can be very long. When they are tadpoles, they have tails but when they are beginning to be a frog, their tails go away. The energy from their tails go into their bodies.
Things That Can Hurt Frogs
Oil can hurt frogs. It can go through their skin and can make them die. When pollution is in their homes, the babies could have 2 heads or 5 or 6 legs.
How Can We Help!
-Create a frog bog or pond
-Don't put goldfish or koi fish in the bog
-Clean it every day
-Don't use bug spray
