https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ribbit

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Croak

It appears ribbit is an onomatopoeia, but croak actually has history. so i think they're both correct? i don't know the history of the etymology of frog croaking in english, lol

croak is more formal, but ribbit is an imitation of the sound?
