Quacking Frog - Call

Call

The call of the Quacking frog, just as its name suggests, is described as closely resembling the quack of a duck. There are usually 1–4 quacks in a sequence, but there can be up to 12 and males will respond to the calls of other males with the same amount of notes. The calls are used to attract females who are ready to mate. The call is distinct and loud, and interestingly, these frogs will respond to imitations of their call.

Famous quotes containing the word call:

    I describe family values as responsibility towards others, increase of tolerance, compromise, support, flexibility. And essentially the things I call the silent song of life—the continuous process of mutual accommodation without which life is impossible.
    Salvador Minuchin (20th century)

    Slim/Marie Brown: Whadya think you’re gonna do?
    Harry Morgan: I’m gonna get that wallet, Slim.
    Marie: I’d rather you wouldn’t call me Slim. I’m a little too skinny to take it kindly.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

    Don’t just stand there, idiot. Call a doctor, and then help me find a nose.
