armies from the north of China.   4. A: Now did you know that frogs eat almost any live food they

can find, such as insects, snails, and spiders. In fact, frogs swallow their food whole.

on the upper part of their mouth, but these are used for holding food and not for biting it. Some frogs catch insects with their long sticky tongues. They shoot out very quickly and catch the insects.
