15 Of The Coolest Frogs And Toads In The World That Are Redefining Cuteness
With the world frog population in rapid decline and over 1/3 of all frog species in threat of extinction, scientists warn that these amphibians are a good biological indicator of broader ecosystem health, which means we might have something to worry about. Whilst many people shy away from frogs and toads, when fully acknowledged and appreciated…they’re actually pretty awesome.
Frogs and toads have amazing diversity and some of these photos look like screen grabs of a sci-fi movie but really they’re just giving credit to this beautiful diversity. They’re found almost everywhere in the world and range from 7.7mm to 32cm.

I know plenty of people who think frogs and toads are nothing but gross and would probably squirm at the sight of them but I think it’s important to remember all creatures of nature should be valued, especially those that give reflections on the eco-system. So, they’re not the prettiest but I think they deserve more love.
