Leopard frog Essays

Abstract To better understand the metabolism of freeze resistant ectotherms we studied the hibernation of Rana Pipiens (leopard frog). My hypothesis is that as temperature decreases and increases the metabolism of the leopard frog will respond in direct correlation. We tested this hypothesis in a sealed and controlled environment with per-determined concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide at a specific rate of 50 cc per minute, and then measured the output of the carbon dioxide at room temperature

considered a subpar style of life for many. In Small Frogs Killed on the Highway By James Wright, Wright conveys a message perfectly touching on the issue of taking chances.

Amphibians are cold-blooded animals that contain unique structures in their bodies and have engaged in behavioral mechanisms allowing them to survive and reproduce for millions of years. Amphibians skin is extremely thin and possess glands which secrete toxins as a defense mechanism against predators (Daly, 1995). Colour patterns on the skin serves for predator defense, mating, and ultraviolet (UV) light protection (Qvarnström, Rudh 2013). In order to ensure survival and reproduction, their behaviour

Since kissing frogs has officially been discounted as a method of obtaining princes (sorry ladies), why would anyone want to lick a toad? Toad cartoonThe urban legend is that licking a toad can get you high. Indeed, Homer Simpson is seen licking toads and going on bizarre trips, as well as the infamous stories of hippies in the 70s who kept 'toad farms.'

observing what happens during these winters, I’ve wondered what happens to frogs. Do they hibernate or do they somehow move away for the winter or do they somehow stay alive under the ice in lakes and ponds?
