How do frogs escape the heat?

In summer, frogs will hide in the grass to escape the heat.

Frogs often inhabit rivers, ponds, rice fields, etc. They mainly move in the grass near the water, and sometimes they can lurk in the water. Most of them are active at night and feed on insects as their main food. They also eat some snails, snails, shrimps, small fish, etc.

When the weather gets cold in late autumn, frogs hibernate at the bottom of the water or in caves, and return to the water to breed when the weather gets warm the following spring. During the breeding period, many male frogs often gather in the same area and chirp loudly and continuously.

Extended information:

Because the skin is exposed, it cannot effectively prevent the evaporation of water in the body, so they cannot live without water or a humid environment throughout their lives, and are afraid of drought and cold. Therefore, most of them live in tropical and temperate rainy areas, and there are very few species distributed in cold zones.

When you are a child, you can only live in water, but when you grow up, you can live on land. Frogs use lungs to breathe, but they can also absorb oxygen from the air through their moist skin.

The various pigment cells in its skin will also spread or shrink with the humidity and temperature, resulting in changes in the color of the skin. Frogs usually inhabit rice fields, ponds, ditches or grass along rivers, and sometimes lurk in the water, usually hunting at night.
