Thermoregulation of Frogs in Hot Conditions

Frogs employ a range of physiological and behavioral strategies to manage their body temperature in hot conditions. The lateral-line organ just beneath the skin plays a crucial role in sensing environmental changes, stimulating mucus glands in the epidermis to produce a thick coating that aids in moisture retention.
