Cricket frogs, native to Virginia and North Carolina, demonstrate an incredible ability to skitter across water surfaces, challenging our perceptions of physics and animal behavior.
New research has unveiled that what appears to be a water dance is actually a series of rapid, sinking jumps. This surprising insight is advancing our understanding of animal locomotion and has potential implications for developing advanced robotics and amphibious drones inspired by nature’s design.
