How Do Frogs Move?

Although shorter and less strong, the frog's front legs act as shock absorbers when landing. Frogs that prefer living in water have webbed feet for paddling while the webbing on a tree frog's feet makes up less than half the length of the toes. Tree frogs move up and down trees and easily hang from leaves due to mucus-tipped pads on their toes. Chinese gliding frogs use foot webbing like wings, which enables them to glide from place to place.
