*Why do dogs run behind vehicles?* 🚗 🦮

Dogs get super active post 10 or 11 PM. They rest the whole day and wander in the night. Anything flashy, too loud or too fast, before they could smell they will prepare for a attack thinking the approaching thing some intruders and the dog needs to save itself and others.

Actual dogs are territorial animals and they have their own इलाका ( territories) like we humans have. That’s why they keep urinating on trees, vehicles to expand their area.

When any vehicle which has urine of any other dog comes in their territory they think that some dog from outside is coming in their territory, so they run after the car to keep, other so called Dogs, out of the area.

🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉️ =======================
*What adaptations allow the frog to live on land and in water?* 🐸*

Frogs start their lives as aquatic tadpoles with gills to breathe. As tadpoles grow into frogs, lungs replace the gills and allow frogs to breathe on land. Frogs’ skin is covered by a layer of slime that dissolves oxygen from air and water. Numerous blood vessels present in frogs’ thin skin absorb the oxygen🐸

***

A frog emerges from one of up to 4,000 eggs laid by his mother in a jelly like substance where it develops into a tadpole. Most tadpoles get gobbled up by predators before they’ve fully metamorphosed into frogs at 12 to 14 weeks of age. The most common indoor pet, the red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas), averages only 5 years in the wild like other frog species. It starts producing it’s offspring 2-3 years old.
