Frogs are remarkable creatures that have conquered both land and water, and possess the ability to breathe through their skin and lungs. Some frogs are so poisonous that a single frog contains enough toxins to kill ten people, while others hold the key to life-saving medicines. These amphibians have successfully colonized some of the most challenging terrains on the planet, from the Arctic to the South African desert, employing remarkable breeding strategies along the way. Sally Coulthard delves into both familiar native British species of frogs and toads and exotic rarities, many of which are under threat, and provides valuable advice on how to make your garden more frog-friendly. The Book of the Frog is an excellent resource for anyone with a fascination for amphibians, offering a wealth of extraordinary facts about frogspawn, froglets, eating habits, and hibernation.
