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:

    What we call birth
    Is but a beginning to be something else
    Than what we were before; and when we cease
    To be that something, then we call it death.

    They call back to us
    from the gauzy edge of paradise,
    good news, good news.

    If you pour oil and vinegar into the same vessel, you would call them not friends but opponents.
