True Frogs
There are some 560 species which belong to the true frog family. Only 21 of those species are found in North
America. These 21 species belong to the family Ranidae. They are characterized by their horizontal pupils
and their bony breastbone. In general they are large frogs with long legs and well webbed hind feet. These
characteristics are advantageous for these carnivores as they spend a great deal of the time in the water or
leaping about.
