Not all frog species can jump. Frogs with shorter legs walk, crawl, or only hop short distances. Most toads are better at walking or hopping than jumping. Many frogs can jump more than 20 times their body length.
Originally published in the New York Saturday Press in 1865 under the title ‘Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog’, Mark Twain’s short story ‘The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County’ was one of his earliest pieces of writing and is probably his best-known short fiction.
