'''Frogs''' and the similar [[toad]]s are a large family of hundreds of species of batrachian [[amphibians]], with a nearly worldwide distribution, absent only from high latitudes and remote oceanic islands. Even in deserts, species such as the water-holding frog, which is used as a drinking bottle by [[Australian Aborigines]],<ref>[http://www.epa.sa.gov.au/frogcensus/platy.html Water holding frog], South Australia Environmental Protection Agency 2004, accessed 26 May 2007</ref> are to be found, buried deep below the ground between the infrequent rains.

Frogs have often been the subject of scientific experiment, whether in high school [[science]] class [[vivisection|dissections]] or [[Voltaire's]] 1766 experiments, in which he discovered that frogs hear with their legs. The discovery that a frog's leg will kick if an electrical shock is applied to it was the scientific basis behind the reflex tests now common in doctors' offices.
