The Family Pseudidae is a group of true frogs within the order Anura, commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Members of this family are typically aquatic or semi-aquatic, with strong hind limbs adapted for jumping and swimming. They have smooth, moist skin and lay eggs in water, where the larvae (tadpoles) develop. Pseudid frogs are generally carnivorous, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates, and they play important ecological roles as both predators of pests and prey for larger animals, helping maintain balance in freshwater ecosystems.
