Reflection- Lungless Frog

The article "Lungless Frog" was interesting to me because it's a very rare species and nobody can breathe without lungs except the lungless frog! I learned a lot about the frog and all the information I need to know in the article. It is a very important article because they have discovered a very rare frog and with no lungs at all! That is why this article is important.

Current Event- Lungless Frog

Lungless Frog


National geographic kids
An animal that can breathe through its skin and not through its lungs might sound a little alien-like, but strangely enough, this animal lives on Earth and is known as Barbourula kalimantanensis, the frog without lungs.The first recorded species of frog that breathes without lungs was found in a clear, cold-water stream on the island of Borneo in Indonesia. It gets all of its oxygen through its skin. When they heard about the lungless frog, the biologists immediately partially dissected several frogs when they found out that one of the species had no lungs! The researchers said that the lungless frogs are adapted to the higher oxygen content in fast-flowing water.

Scientific Summer

This summer, I went on on a floating bus in Budapest. This is very scientific because it's a bus that floats! But when I researched about it, then I knew how it worked. What they do is when the bus is on land, it's bus mode. But when it's in water, it turns to boat mode. Here is a picture of the floating bus!
