      the liquid they produce is just a watery fluid, but the pads are designed so that the frogs can stick on using it. In the same way you can pick up a small bit of paper by licking your finger and touching it, Your saliva isn’t sticky, but forces acting in the fluid will keep the paper there, partly because the paper is so light. In the same way, frogs do this to stick to things. And that is my favourite thing about them!
