|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derived Anatomy of Anura | Elongated ilium for better attachment of better hind limb muscles; Urostyle and fewer vertebrae for sturdier jumps; Longer hind limbs for change of lateral undulation to jumping locomotion
🗑
|
||||
| Semi-aquatic/Jumper Anura | Live by margins of water bodies for two environments and lots of food; Weak chemical defenses so jumping evasions; waiting out prey

| Mate Finding of Anura | Singing by using air from lungs across vocal chords, into vocal sacs, and then back into lungs to save time, energy, and air; Breath cutaneously during; Implies good hearing and neurological pathways
🗑

| Eggs of Anura | Gelatenous mass in water, on leaves near water, in plant bases with water, or covered in mucus; 20% of frogs surpass the larval aquatic state
🗑
|

| Parental Care of Anura | Young in vocal sac, young given unfertilized eggs and moved from pool to pool, eggs in skin of back
