Goliath frogs don't have a vocal sac and are mute. Frogs aren't able to give you warts and I've not heard a frog whistle. There are blue frogs, but the Goliath frog is greenish with a yellowish-orange underside.

Golden poison arrow frog (Phyllobates terribilis): Common green and golden bell frog (Litoria aurea): European tree frog (Hyla arborea): Corroboree frog Pseudophryne corroboree: Arrow frogs are not poisonous in captivity.

Answer: Recycling an old sweater for the wool

Answer: Sam and Friends

The first appearance of Kermit was in 1955 on "Sam and Friends". He was one of the original Muppet characters on "Sesame Street" which aired on Nov.10 1969 and on Sept.27, 1976 "The Muppet Show" went to air with Kermit as the central character.

The Grimm Brothers published a book of German fairy tales in 1812. They collected anecdotes from peasants and villagers. They are among the best known story tellers from Europe. Some of their other published works include Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel.

Answer: The Princess picked the frog up and threw him against the wall.

In the original story "The Frog Prince", by the Brothers Grimm, the Princess violently threw the frog against the wall. It was a common way of undoing shapeshifting magic (when a person or an animal has been magically changed into a different form or shape).

It is not clear when the idea of kissing the frog entered into the story, but it is believed that it was done to try to make the Princess more likeable.

Chinese frogs are knotted and looped buttons, closures, or embellishments usually made from cording or small pieces of fabric.
Chinese frogs close a garment whilst giving it decoration at the same time. The garments are usually of oriental design, with a mandarin collar. They will often have Chinese frogs on the shoulder and down the front to hold the garment closed.
