Did you know there are four species of frogs that prefer walking over hopping?

The Bumblebee Frog is known to walk on all fours

Unlike most toads and frogs, scientists have discovered that four species of frogs walk around rather than hopping. These four species resemble the other common species when it comes to appearance but have several modifications when it comes to their hind legs, because of which they reach places by walking.

Though these frogs are not related to one another, they do have similar physical properties due to which they don't hop frequently.

What makes these frogs walk rather than hop?

These species of frogs tend to walk pretty low on the ground, moving one leg in front of the other, replicating the motion of dogs.

These species are not related to each other but are similar when it comes to the symmetry of their hind legs. These hind legs tend to be more symmetrical than all the other species of frogs and toads, which makes them capable of walking on the ground.
