On this page, I’m going to do my best to answer the question “Why do frogs croak after it rains?”. There are several reasons you can hear frogs and toads croaking after a heavy rainfall and it usually has something to do with mating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The short answer is this: Male frogs croak after it rains because they’re trying to attract a mate. Rain creates the optimal conditions for the females to lay eggs in fresh pools of water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this, frogs like moist, humid weather. Rain causes humidity to spike while dark clouds provide shade from the sun; an enjoyable climate for amphibians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mating isn’t the only reason for the croaking. If you care to stick around, I’ll go into greater detail about why frogs and toads croak after it rains. By the way, frogs also croak during the rain and sometimes before it rains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Play the audio file below to hear frogs croaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
