That is a bit of an urban legend. No such quote from anything Einstein ever wrote or said in public exists on record.

Frogs are an indicator species because they are very sensitive to pollution and UV light. Typically, if an aquatic ecosystem is in trouble, frogs are the first thing to be affected.
EDIT: I see that was tackled a few years ago... lol. /shame
