One fact worth knowing about the tree frog: Tree frogs have sticky pads on their toes to climb glass.
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.
