jett's fourth blog post
frog jumpingIchthyostega,
prehistoric predecessor to the modern frog, lived 370 million years
ago during the Devonian Period. Sometimes referred to as "the
first four-legged fish," skeletal remains of this earliest-known
amphibian were first discovered in East Greenland. many frogs can leap up to twenty times their body
length. (That would be about a 100-foot jump for you or me!) The longest
frog jump on record was made by a frog named Santjie at a frog derby
held in South Africa. Santjie bested the competition with a jump of
33 feet 5.5 inches.It takes less than a second for a frog's
tongue to roll out, adhere to prey, and roll back into the frog's mouth.

i liked the jumping part of the video. great job
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed watching the video you posted Jett because I was able to see how the frog jumped and what position it took before it jumped, during it was in the air, and once it landed on the ground.
ReplyDeleteGreat video Jett!
