When frogs chirp, are they really calling for rain?

Question

I was just wondering because people always said that. Recently I noticed that they chirped after the rain.

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

For some species of frogs, only the males sing. Other types of frogs appear to have both male and female calls.

Large frogs have DEEP voices, meaning they call at a low frequency.

Small frogs sing in high chirps, meaning they call at a high frequency.

Cold frogs repeat their calls at a slower rate because the muscles controlling the sounds slow down!

Why do frogs sing? Well...it's actually for a variety of reasons!

Sometimes, frogs sing when they are trying to attract a mate. "HEY! Baby!"

Sometimes, frogs sing to mark their territory. "This is MY Lilypad!"

Sometimes, frogs sing becasue they know the weather is going to change. "Rain!!!"

Sometimes, frogs squeek when they are frightened or hurt. "Ouch! Eek!"

Answer 3

Frogs chirp to communicate and draw in potential mates during the mating season.
