Random information on the term “Frog”:

The tailed frogs are two species of frogs in the genus Ascaphus,[1] the only taxon in the family Ascaphidae /æˈskæfɪdiː/.[2] The “tail” in the name is actually an extension of the male cloaca. The tail is one of two distinctive anatomical features adapting the species to life in fast-flowing streams. These are the only North American frog species that reproduce by internal fertilization.[3]

Its scientific names means ‘without a spade’, from the privative prefix a- and the Ancient Greek skaphís (σκαφίς, ‘spade, shovel’), referring to the metatarsal spade, which these frogs do not have.[4][5]

Until 2001, the genus was believed to be monotypic, the single species being the tailed frog (Ascaphus truei Stejneger, 1899). However, in that year, Nielson, Lohman, and Sullivan published evidence that promoted the Rocky Mountain tailed frog (Ascaphus montanus) from a subspecies to its own species.[6] Since then, the former species has been formally called coastal tailed frog.
