Frogs are water dwellers, often found living right around the edge of lakes, ponds, and streams. Typically, they spend their larval stage in the water then move to dry land as they mature—but most frogs still spend plenty of time splashing around even when they’re fully grown.

Unlike fish, though, frogs don’t breathe through gills. So even though they can breathe through their skin—and are even capable of holding their breath underwater for anywhere from four to seven hours at a time—they’re still capable of drowning if water gets into their lungs.
