Question

How does frogs communicate?

Answer 1

The males can vocalize, or bark If you will, to attract a female mate. They also rythimically tap their middle toe, which I observed when I owned them. I had two books on them, and don't remember reading what that toe tapping signified. The pair I had was a male and female, and they stayed close to each other, and came out quickly whenever a tank misting took place, so observation leads me to say humidity and rainfall was an environmental way for them to communicate. They are truly one of the most fascinating reptiles that I ever cared for.

Answer 2

How frogs communicate. ... To start calling, a frog breathes in and then closes its nostrils. It forces the air backward and forward between its lungs and vocal sac, so that its vocal cords can make the air vibrate. Male frogs and toads have a distinctive mating call, which attracts females of the same species.
