Frog, any of various tailless amphibians belonging to the order Anura. The name ‘frog’ is often used to distinguish the smooth-skinned, leaping anurans from the squat, warty, hopping ones, which are called toads. In general, frogs have protruding eyes, no tail, and strong, webbed hind feet.
Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders.
