Why do cold frogs croak slower than warm frogs?

Cold frogs croak slower than warm frogs primarily due to the effects of temperature on their metabolism and muscle function. In colder temperatures, a frog's metabolic rate decreases, leading to reduced energy production and slower muscle contractions. This results in a lower frequency of croaking. Conversely, warmer temperatures enhance metabolic processes, allowing frogs to croak more rapidly and vigorously.
