frog
Lily pad dweller
A frog is a small amphibian with smooth skin, long hind legs for jumping, and webbed feet for swimming.
Frogs begin life as aquatic tadpoles before metamorphosing into air-breathing adults.
The word extends to things resembling frogs: a decorative fastener on clothing, a holder for flowers in a vase, or the triangular pad on a horse's hoof.
The pond was full of frogs in spring.
