Whether you realize it or not, frogs are a pretty important animal. Like most wild critters, frogs are part of the food chain. This means that amphibians are both predators and prey. While frogs help control insect populations by eating bugs, birds and fish control frog populations by eating them and their tadpoles.
Frogs serve more than just scientific and practical purposes, though. Amphibians also show up in pop culture to a surprising degree. Famous frogs like Kermit remain fan favorites even decades after their inception. Frog princes are iconic fixtures in both classic and modern fairy tales. Video games like “Frogger” even cast frogs in main character roles.
