In captivity, C. cranwelli and C. ornata are the most popular species, [4] along with the "fantasy frog", a captive-produced hybrid between C. cranwelli and C. cornuta. These frogs can live in a terrarium with a floor area 8-10 times the size of the frog. [4] They commonly cover themselves with substrate or just sit contentedly in the water.
Frogs are more often heard than seen, and other frogs (and researchers) rely on their calls to identify them. Depending on the region that the frog lives in, certain times of the year are better for breeding than others, and frogs may live away from the best breeding grounds when it is not the species’ mating season.
The mating period of these frogs is during the fall and winter seasons. These frogs call usually during the morning and mid-afternoon hours. [15] Males of this species do not attract females with croaks, instead producing a sharp clicking sound by snapping the hyoid bone in their throats. [16] The clicking sound resembles metallic noises.

Certain words in the English language represent animal sounds: the noises and vocalizations of particular animals, especially noises used by animals for communication. The words can be used as verbs or interjections in addition to nouns , and many of them are also specifically onomatopoeic .
The moor frog will ingest any animal that it is able to swallow. Moor frogs are opportunistic predators that wait for prey to appear before consuming them, as opposed to intentional predators that actively hunt for prey. [16] More mobile prey are more often consumed by the moor frog because of their opportunistic nature.
A rain of animals is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which flightless animals fall from the sky. Such occurrences have been reported in many countries throughout history. [ 1 ] One hypothesis is that tornadic waterspouts sometimes pick up creatures such as fish or frogs, and carry them for up to several miles.
The Pacific tree frog begins mating in early winter to early spring. Since these frogs are so widespread geographically, their breeding season is thought to be determined by local conditions. When it is time, the males migrate to the water. They then make a call at the same time. This lures the females to the water, where they mate.
