One fact worth knowing about the bullfrog: A bullfrog's call can be heard nearly a kilometer away.
Amphibians live a double life, often starting in water as larvae before transforming to breathe air as adults. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are especially sensitive to environmental change, making them useful indicators of ecosystem health.
