Seeerious Hops

The southern cricket frog, at little more than an inch long, can jump up to 3ft vertically and 4ft horizontally (28-37x their body size)!!

That’s the equivalent of a human being able to jump over 200ft 😱

These froggos are active in the daytime and can be found at the edges of small ponds, ditches and wetlands.

Females lay ~300 eggs, attaching them one at a time to rocks and plants found at the bottom of ponds.
