| Description |
English: Rana clamitans melanota, the green frog common to the Chesapeake Bay, is one of more than 4,000 species of frogs that scientists have identified thus far. More species are being discovered every year, mostly in tropical zones. Frogs and toads are descended from salamander-like animals with elongated bodies, tails and short legs. The first species probably date to the Jurassic Period, from 206 million to 144 million years ago. Their antiquity and physiology have prompted biologists to study their habits and embryonic stages. Frogs are important bioindicators-the health of a given species can indicate or predict the status of its ecosystem.
