[edit] Please add

How long does a frog stay a tadpole?

It is dependent on the species, some it is a few weeks, and for others it can be a few years. The main influence on it is the environment. If the water is going to dry up fast, they will develop fast, if they are in the tropics, they can develop very slow. Also, some undergo direct development, so you could say the minimum is 0 days. --liquidGhoul 23:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We were all once fishes

All tetrapods, including not just frogs but all reptiles, dinosaurs, and mammals, descend from those same sarcopterygian fishes. The first paragraph is remarkably misleading.

Unless someone else does it, I'm going to rewrite that intro. CarlFink 04:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

It never says that reptiles etc. didn't evolve from the amphibians, they are never mentioned. However, the person who wrote it over simplified, and it sounds bad. I don't think the info is even neccesary. Everything that should be in that section is already in the Frog article, under evolution. This article is more for the complex subjects within frog zoology, particularly to do with physiology. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 04:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Digestion

Is it true that frogs use their eyes to help them swallow? Could this be added if so?

It is true. I will see what I can do in adding it. Thanks for the suggestion. --liquidGhoul 13:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
