|caption=A '''[[frog]]''' is an [[amphibian]] characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits, protruding [[eye]]s and the absence of a [[tail]]. Frogs are most noticeable through their call, which can be widely heard during the [[estrus cycle|mating season]]. It is estimated that up to 20% of amphibian species may care for their young in one way or another, and there is a great diversity of parental behaviours. For example, frogs in the ''[[Gastrotheca]]'' genus (upper left) carry their eggs in a pouch, and females of the ''[[Eleutherodactylus lineatus]]'' species (center left) carry their young on their back.
