It is found in northern South America in the Upper Amazon Basin of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, Amazonian Brazil, and the Guianas from southeastern Venezuela to French Guiana. It might represent more than one species. [2]
In counting legs, this list follows the conventions adopted in the relevant literature. For example, millipedes with gonopods are listed by numbers that exclude leg pairs that become gonopods. [2] [3] [4] Animals have been selected so that each number from 0 to 55 leg pairs has one example listed.
Most female frogs had around 40 ripe eggs, almost double that of the number of juveniles ever found in the stomach (21–26). This means one of two things, that the female fails to swallow all the eggs or the first few eggs to be swallowed are digested.
Furthermore, many arboreal frogs have hip joints that allow both hopping and walking. Some frogs that live high in trees even possess an elaborate degree of webbing between their toes. This allows the frogs to "parachute" or make a controlled glide from one position in the canopy to another. [57]
Bullfrog stomachs have been found to contain rodents, small lizards and snakes, other frogs and toads, other amphibians, crayfish, other crustaceans, [47] small birds, scorpions, tarantulas and bats, [48] [49] as well as the many types of invertebrates, such as snails, worms and insects, which are the usual food of ranid frogs.

Single-Leg Stand: Stand on one leg while keeping your other leg lifted slightly off the ground. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds, then switch legs. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds ...
The clawed frog have been kept as pets and research subjects since as early as the 1950s. They are extremely hardy and long lived, having been known to live up to 20 or even 30 years in captivity. [47] African clawed frogs are frequently mislabeled as African dwarf frogs in pet stores. Identifiable differences are: Dwarf frogs have four webbed ...
More specifically, researchers determined that the duration a person can stand on a single leg declined at the rate of 2.2 seconds per decade in the non-dominant leg, while doing the same at the ...
