The Frog is a small live animal that a survivor can find and carry. It cannot be eaten as it is. Its value is the meat inside, which comes out with a knife.
A frog is a live animal, so it does not spoil in the pack. It also needs no food or water to stay alive. That makes it a handy store of fresh meat that keeps until it is needed.
Frogs are found mainly through foraging. A high Foraging level is needed to spot them. Now and then a frog also turns up in the fridge or freezer of a late survivor safehouse. The Fishing Guide is the best occupation for fishing and trapping. It starts with the most Fishing skill. For Trapping, the Park Ranger starts strongest.
Using
The Butcher Small Animal recipe turns a frog into Frog Meat. The recipe needs a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, and the blade is kept afterwards. The same recipe handles dead birds, mice, rats, squirrels and rabbits.
The frog can wait in the inventory for as long as needed. A survivor can carry a few and butcher one only when the meat will be cooked soon. That way the meat goes into the pot fresh.

Locations
Foraging is the main way to find a frog, and only at a high Foraging level. In the world, frogs mostly sit in late game survivor safehouses. Their freezers, fridges and stoves each give a fair chance of holding one. Anywhere else a frog in a container is almost unheard of.

Notes
- A frog keeps forever in the inventory, so it can be saved for a lean day.
- Butchering needs only a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, and no station.
- Frog Meat is the item to cook, since the live frog itself is inedible.
- Training Foraging opens up frogs as a steady extra food find.
