How do frogs find ponds?

321 views

Sometimes a person will build a pond in their back yard, and a little while later find a frog and some frogspawn in it.

But there might not be another pond or body of water around for some distance.

It’s not like the frogs got a smartphone update telling them there’s a new pond 100 metres away in such-and-such a direction.

So this suggests frogs are constantly wandering around waterless pond-less environments all the time unobserved, and that some are lucky enough to happen across ponds to live in?

Frogs don’t “require” ponds and actually a large portion of species live in fields and burrow into the ground. Their amphibians, cold blooded and have excellent night vision so that’s why it’s uncommon to see them during g the day. Typically frog go to ponds to breech. Fun fact- they breath through their skin, thus seeking damp areas.
