Question

What are the other sounds made by a frog called?

Answer 1

Every different species of frog makes it's own special sound and it is only the male frog that can croak. They have a small sac in their throats that vibrates the air as they slowly let it out. The sounds that frogs make are not what you'd expect.

Answer 2

The sounds made by frogs are chirp, whistle, croak, ribbit, peep, cluck, bark, and grunt.

• The variations in their sounds are because of the season of mating.

• The male communicates with their female counterparts through specific vocal cords so that only the specific species of females are attracted.

• The female frogs have specialized tuned ears to understand the specific callings from their specific species of male frogs.

• These vocal cords are active during the night as most of the frogs are nocturnal.
