SUMMARY
Frogs croak constantly primarily as a means of communication, particularly for mating purposes. The discussion highlights that male frogs use croaking to attract females, signaling their presence and readiness to mate. Additionally, the variety of sounds made by frogs can indicate different social interactions, such as inviting others to a gathering or expressing individual concerns. This vocal behavior is essential for their reproductive success and social dynamics.
