Frogs appeared on Planet Earth around 265 million years ago, during the Permian period of the Paleozoic Era. Since then they have been fruitful and multiplied, now making up 85% of all living amphibian species. They live everywhere there is freshwater, except for the polar regions. Strangely, there are no known marine species of frogs.

This is probably because frogs apparently evolved from early freshwater fish.

The body plan for all species of frogs is the same. The only differences are in color and size. They have a squat body, long back legs with webbed feet, protruding eyes, and a cleft tongue. Other than birds, frogs are some of the most strikingly-colored animals on the planet.

All Frogs Are Not Created EqualFrogs Are Not Created Equal

There are many different frog species in the U.S. that bass and other fish may encounter, but as far as bass is concerned, only a few are of interest. Bass like a big mouthful, so their favorite frog is obviously the North American Bullfrog.

The bullfrog is one of the larger species of frog, found pretty much everywhere in the United States, but especially in the southern states. You can hear their amorous roars every night in late Spring and Summer as they attempt to propagate.
