The
dorsal side, also known as the back, of a frog is typically darker in color than the
ventral side, or belly. This coloration helps to camouflage the frog in its environment. The dorsal skin of a frog is also thicker and more warty than the ventral skin. The ventral skin is home to the frog's internal organs, such as the heart, liver, and lungs.
Here is a table summarizing the key differences between a frog's dorsal side and ventral side:
| Feature | Dorsal Side | Ventral Side |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Darker | Lighter |
| Thickness | Thicker | Thinner |
| Texture | Warty | Smooth |
| Home to | Camouflage | Internal Organs |
