According to Conservation International, creators of the Search for Lost Frogs Campaign:
- 1. A group of frogs is called an 'army' of frogs, and a group of toads is a 'knot' of toads.
- 2. Spadefoot toads smell like peanut butter.
- 3. Frogs shed their skin, typically about once a week--and usually eat it afterwards.
- 4. The water-holding frog survives in the dry Australian outback by taking in so much rainwater that it blows up like a balloon.
- 5. In Brazil, the world's only fruit-eating frog leaps with its mouth wide open at ripe fruit hanging in trees.
