Anurans, commonly known as frogs and toads, are a diverse group of amphibians characterized by their jumping abilities, smooth or warty skin, and vocalizations. They are found in a variety of habitats, from tropical rainforests to temperate regions, and play crucial roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey.
These creatures undergo a unique life cycle, starting as eggs that hatch into aquatic tadpoles before metamorphosing into adult forms. Anurans are known for their remarkable adaptability, with some species capable of surviving in extreme environments. Their presence is often an indicator of environmental health, making them important for ecological studies.
