How frogs and toads are like lions and tigers? They hunt for living things to eat. But these amphibians use the tongue, not sharp claws and teeth, to catch food.
Frogs and toads eat insects and worms and smaller frogs and toads, too. Big bullfrogs will eat small turtles, snakes, mice, and birds.
Frogs and toads eat only things that move. An insect might be safe right in front of a frog or toad if it didn’t move. But if the insect makes even the tiniest wiggle, the frog or toad will see it and gulp it down.
Many kinds of amphibians, including frogs and toads, use their long, sticky tongues to catch food. If an insect comes near it, the amphibian will slowly move closer and closer until – snap! Its tongue shoots out and pulls the insect into its mouth.
Some frogs are among the most poisonous animals. The brightly coloured arrow poison frog of the Amazon is only about 2.5 centimetres long, but its skin is deadly to predators.
