Welcome, Frog Keeper!
Are you a new frog keeper or preparing for your first amphibian? If so, you’re in the right place! Need some advice and don’t know where to start?
I was once in your shoes and I understand how frustrating it can be; not knowing where to start. For that reason, I created a Beginner’s Guide to Keeping Frogs. It’s totally free and it’s my gift to you!
ANURA \ uh-noor-uh
- “A major extant order of the class Amphibia. It includes frogs and toads, which are known by people around the world.”
- Literally means “without tail”
Usage: “Frogs and toads are both Anuran because they’re within the same order!”
Animalia → Chordata → Amphibia → Anura
