True frogs, belonging to the family Ranidae, are a diverse group of amphibians found in various habitats worldwide. They are characterized by their smooth skin, long legs, and strong jumping abilities. True frogs typically have a slim body and can vary in size, with some species being quite small while others can grow larger than a foot in length. These frogs are primarily aquatic or semi-aquatic, often residing near ponds, lakes, and streams. They are known for their distinctive croaking sounds, which are used for communication, especially during the breeding season. True frogs play a vital role in their ecosystems as both predators and prey.
