The frog is an amphibian in the order Anura (meaning tail-less , from Greek an-, without oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin saltare, to jump).

The name frog derives from Old English frogga, cognate with Sanskrit plava (frog), probably deriving from Proto-Indo-European praw = to jump . Adult frogs are characterised by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits, protruding eyes and the absence of a tail.

Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods.

Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season. The distribution of frogs ranges from tropic to subarctic regions, but most species are found in tropical rainforests. Consisting of more than 5,000 species described, they are among the most diverse groups of vertebrates.
