Now that our worm dissection is over, it's time to move on to our next big dissection, and unfortunately, last, of the year. It's time to bring out the frogs!
If we're on schedule here, we should begin the external examination on Thursday and Friday; and then make the incision into the internal examination Monday continuing on.
Before we learn about it, here are some cool facts I found out about frogs (mostly the ones I know; I found some of them while browsing.)
Frogs are: amphibians; so they breathe through their skin. The part I didn't knwo is that they can actually drink through it too! ; frogs can have kinds of eye colors humans can't: even gold and silver; there are more than 4,000 species of frogs in the world today.
When I was browsing through a couple of sites, I learned this really cool terminology- herpetologists study frogs and toads, and ranidadophia is another word for a person who is scared of frogs. Bet you never knew that :)

To end this post, a few funny jokes and riddles I got from a bunch of websites (I'll reveal them after the frog dissection) Let's see who can find the answer... without cheating TOO much, though its rather easy to just search frog jokes...
1) What kind of shoes do frogs wear?
2) What happens to the frog when it parks in the "no parking" zone?
AND, finally this really funny story/joke I found:
The Frog and the Princess
Once upon a time, a beautiful, independent, self assured princess happened upon a frog in a pond.
The frog said to the princess, "I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn back into a prince and then we can marry, move into the castle with my mom and you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel happy doing so."
That night, while the princess dined on frog legs, she kept laughing and saying, "I don't think so."
