Discover fascinating living frogs, each adapted ingeniously for survival in locations around the world. Observe a large collection of rare and unusual frogs up close and in seldom-seen detail. The many live frogs on exhibit include:
- The sure-footed tree frog
- The impressive Argentinian horned frog
- The jewel-toned poison dart frog
- Dozens of other species
These amazing amphibians embody the diversity of nature and the importance of form and function in living systems. Each frog has a story of its own — a story worth knowing, understanding, and sharing!
Did you know that there are approximately 4,000 species of frogs? This exhibition is teeming with activity and reveals many astonishing details of animal adaptation that represent this striking variety of frogs. Camouflage, poison, mimicry, gliding, sliding, and hiding are all strategies that have shepherded these vulnerable creatures through time. Many serve as important signs of our environment’s health and stability.
A visit to this exhibit is a chance to experience the mystery and wonder of these amazing organisms, and to understand their role in inspiring stories and myths, conjuring spells, designing weapons, and potentially foretelling the future health of our environment.
