  Do you know there are nearly 3,500 species of frogs and toads living everywhere from deserts to rainforests? Photos, many in dazzling color, show them burrowing in the sand, wrapped around tree branches, walking on bright green leaves, and camouflaging themselves. You'll see an albino, a bright red-and-black-striped poison dart frog, close-up shots of the skin, and frogs developing from egg to hatchlings to tadpoles. And by the time you're though, you'll know what makes a frog different from a toad!
