The\u00a0vocal sac\u00a0or pouch is a flexible\u00a0membrane\u00a0of skin possessed by most male\u00a0frogs and is found <\/strong>below its mouth.

When a frog calls, it inflates its lungs and shuts its nose and mouth. The sound is produced by expelling the air from the lungs, through the\u00a0larynx, and across the vocal cords. The resulting sound vibrations are amplified by the resonating qualities of the vocal sac.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Muscles within the body wall force the air back and forth between the lungs and vocal sac and hence the sound is produced without expelling air.<\/span><\/h1>\n
