frogs
Leaping pond dwellers
Frogs are small amphibians with smooth skin, long hind legs for jumping, and webbed feet for swimming.
They begin life as aquatic tadpoles before metamorphosing into their adult form.
Frogs appear widely in folklore and children's stories.
A frog in someone's throat is hoarseness that makes speaking difficult.
As a slur, frog is a derogatory term for a French person.
