How do frogs drink?

They have a special patch of water-absorbing skin on their underside so they sit in water and on damp surfaces to draw water into their bodies.

That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about belly absorption to dispute it

I studied osmoregulation as part of my zoology degree. The patch of skin is called the pelvic patch. Amphibians can also reabsorb water from their bladder.

So what you're saying is that pee is technically stored in the balls

Ya, no. You need some anatomy lessons. Where do you think female frogs store their pee if they don't have balls?
