SAVE THE FROGS DAY 2013!!

SAVE THE FROGS DAY 2013!!

We’re celebrating FROGS for Save the Frogs Day! We had a great time last week celebrating these fabulous amphibians for our own frog week! We’re sharing some great photos, fun facts, videos and an INTERVIEW WITH A FROG CONSERVATION SCIENTIST!

• Frogs are amphibians
• They live on all continents except Antarctica.
• The Goliath Frog is the larges species of frog in the world.
• Wood frogs can “freeze” solid and survive the winter.
• The Golden Dart Frog is the most toxic frog in the world.
• Bullfrog tadpoles are toxic.
• Frogs are cold blooded.
• There are about 4,900 species of frogs in the world.
• A group of frogs is called an army. A group of toads is called a knot.
• Frogs do have ears! They are located right behind their eyes.
• Frogs have been around for 200 million years.

We met with the Amphibian Conservation Coordinator at Atlanta Botanical Gardens and talked frogs- read the interview here! We promise it is super cool!

We couldn’t celebrate Save the Frogs Day without some tips on how you can help:

• Create a frog friendly backyard. Let your grass grow and reduce trash and chemicals in your yard. Also provide a water feature.
• Learn about the frogs in your area.
• Conserve water.
• Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!
• Check out organizations like SAVE THE FROGS!

Save the Frogs Day wouldn’t be complete without a little music from our favorite frog- Kermit!

It’s Not Easy Being Green and Frogs in the Glen!
