How do frogs breathe underwater and on land? <\/p>
Though frogs have lungs, a great deal of their respiration takes place through their skin, which is permeable. As a result, hibernating frogs can survive under the ice of frozen ponds, as long as oxygen levels in the water don\u2019t drop too low. <\/span><\/p>\n You can help prevent this by creating holes in the ice to ensure that a pond\u2019s oxygen supplies won\u2019t deplete entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Their amazing skin also has other uses. Frogs don\u2019t need to drink like humans do \u2013 they absorb water through their permeable skin.<\/span><\/p>\n As they have lungs on land frogs can also breathe like humans if needed<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> Main image \u00a9 Getty Images<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n How do frogs breathe underwater and on land? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":30850,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"< 1"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe.jpg",2121,1414,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2023\/07\/how-do-frogs-breathe-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"How do frogs breathe underwater and on land?","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/30849"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
