To my knowledge, it is becasue of how they lay. Both front and back paws fully extened... they look like a frog.
 
I agree with [MENTION=2]2bullymama[/MENTION], it is because of how they lay!
 
I think it could be because French people are called frogs. There are several reasons on the net as to why they are call frogs. Which one is right, I do not know.
 
The Brits call the french .. frogs .... so it makes sense to me!!!!! :rolleyes:
 
They do look like little frogs when they lay down!!
 
[MENTION=7]Kazzy220[/MENTION] OK, I have heard several reason why the Brits call the French frogs, so what is the reason you have heard?

Most commonly .. cos they eat frogs legs as a delicacy!!! :fie: :bad:
 
OK thanks, I had heard that too, but didn't know if it was true. Frog legs are good too.
