Fascinating Frog Facts

Northern Leopard frog

Frogs swallow their food whole — what they eat is only limited by the size of their mouth.
Frogs normally eat insects, worms, spiders, and centipedes, although large frogs may eat mice or small snakes.
Frogs don't drink, but absorb water from their surroundings through their skin (by osmosis).
A frog's tongue is covered with mucus so that prey sticks to it.
A frog often retracts its eyes when it swallows food (normally one at a time) to force food down its throat.
When frogs eat something that is poisonous or otherwise bad for them, they can throw up their entire stomach. The stomach actually protrudes from their mouth and they wipe it with their right front leg. Why is it always their right front leg?
