CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why can’t forest frogs drown?

1. Why can’t forest frogs be drowned?

Because wood frogs can breathe through their skin, they cannot drown.

The forest frog, also known as the snow frog, is widely distributed in northern China, Siberia and North Korea. The forest frog is a completely different animal from toads and frogs. The forest frog has a flat head, slender limbs, and a body length of 70 to 80 mm; the eardrum is round, with triangular dark brown spots on the eardrum; the back of the body is mostly khaki, and there are usually dark spots scattered on the warts; the dorsal folds bend obliquely outward above the eardrum. The forest frog is mainly terrestrial, often living in a moist and cool environment without strong light. It mainly inhabits still water areas such as mountains, swamps, ponds, puddles and ditches and their vicinity, mostly in forest grasslands. The forest frog is agile and has strong jumping ability. It mainly feeds on a variety of insects, such as flies and mosquitoes.

The wood frog originally likes to live in water, so how could it drown? Although the wood frog likes to live in water, it often goes to the grass and under the forest on the hillside to look for food in spring, summer and autumn.

Answer: Because forest frogs are amphibians, they cannot be drowned.

Rana sylvatica is a Chinese subspecies of the European Rana sylvatica. Its trade name is Rana sylvatica. It is widely distributed in northern China. It is also distributed in Siberia and Korea. Individuals in different regions vary greatly. It has a slender head, body and limbs, is agile and has strong jumping ability. There is a triangular dark brown spot on the eardrum. The back of the body is mostly khaki, and there are usually dark spots scattered on the warts.

2. How long can you keep the forest frog after buying it?

As long as the wood frog is provided with appropriate living conditions, it can live for a long time. The life span of the wood frog is about 7-8 years.

The wood frog belongs to the Chinese subspecies of the European wood frog, and its commercial name is the Husky toad. The time for planting wood frogs is generally in spring. First, the frog eggs should be placed in the hatching pond. The density of frog eggs cannot be too large, and cannot exceed 2,000 per square meter. Generally, during the hibernation adaptation period, that is, in the early winter, the climate in autumn and winter is unstable. During this period, the wood frog will switch from lung breathing to skin breathing, but this requires an adaptation process.

The time for forest frog breeding is generally spring. First of all, frog eggs must be placed in the hatching pond. During the hatching process of frog eggs, attention must be paid to the quality of fresh water, timely water exchange, scientific breeding, and timely prevention of frog diseases.

Generally, forest frogs can live for about 30 days after arriving home.

The method is to find a sturdy cardboard box, put the frog in it (without water), seal the box and poke several holes, or find a foam box, put water in it, then put the frog in, seal it and poke several holes. It can be stored for about 1 month.

The forest frog is a species of rana, mainly produced in my country's northeast region. It is also a nutritious food with very high nutritional value. It is generally best to eat it fresh.

3. Where do the forest frogs go in winter?

Wintering in the river! In winter, forest frogs go to the river to winter. Buy some plastic sheeting and surround the river bank. Dig 20-centimeter holes every 10 meters or so. This way, when forest frogs jump from the forest to the river, they will be blocked by the plastic sheeting and cannot jump into the river. They will jump back and forth along the river bank and slowly fall into the hole, where they can be picked up.

Rana sylvatica is a Chinese subspecies of the European Rana sylvatica. Its commercial name is Rana sylvatica. It is widely distributed in northern China. It is also distributed in Siberia and Korea. Individuals in different regions vary greatly.

Wild wood frogs usually hibernate in deeper water to avoid the cold winter and spend their dormant period.

The term “wood frog” can be divided into the broad and narrow senses. The broad sense refers to the genus Rana, which belongs to the family Ranidae, the order Anura, the class Amphibia. There are 17 species of wood frogs in the genus Rana in China [1]. The narrow sense generally refers to the Northeast China wood frog.

I live in the Northeast and often come into contact with forest frogs. I know a thing or two about their activity patterns and living habits. Every autumn, the forest frogs in the mountains come down the mountain one after another and jump into the river to spend the winter. So it can be said that the forest frogs go to the river in winter.
