Answer 1

Frog is a poikilotherm; which means its body temperature depends on the surroundings. This helps in conserving energy which could have been spent on regulating the temperature. Ability to go into hibernation or aestivation helps the frog in bypassing the unfavourable environment. Ability to camouflage helps it in evading its predators. It also helps in easily catching its prey.
