about frogs.

It's true that frogs (and other amphibians) absorb water through their skin, but they also drink (I've see them do it).
They dip their noses into the water, with their mouth slightly parted, and look rather like they are sucking the water. I do not believe they are actually sucking. Instead they are expanding that loose skin under their neck somewhat, like they do when they croak, only to a much lesser extent.
Their mouth is only slightly parted, this movement of the skin in their throat draws the water up.

Frogs absorb water through their skins and so not need to drink with their mouths the way we do.

They absorb fluid through their skin.
