Frogs will eat almost anything they can catch—but only if it’s still alive. Most frogs eat insects, snails, and tadpoles. Large frogs will also eat small mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. Most frogs hunt for food at night and hide during the day. Frogs don’t drink water at all, but simply absorb it through their skin.
Frogs depend on their excellent eyesight to spot their prey. Once they sight it, a frog will even leap out of the water to catch its meal.
The frog will usually unfurl its long tongue that is coated with a sticky substance with lightning speed. The prey sticks to the tongue and is swallowed whole.
Though frogs have teeth, they do not chew their food. Their teeth are used only to hold the prey in place, and to keep it from escaping.
If a frog eats something poisonous, it is not too bothered. It just brings its whole stomach out of its mouth, mid wipes it clean with its foot!
