Saturdays at 10 a.m.: Visitors are invited to the Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to observe the frogs in action as they are fed. An amphibian specialist will present fascinating facts and answer questions about these intriguing creatures.
Public frog feedings provide an opportunity to witness notable aspects of amphibian behavior, particularly their feeding techniques. Most frogs possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. Certain species, such as Poison frogs, demonstrate remarkable speed and precision, making it appear as though flies vanish instantaneously. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, exhibit more dramatic feeding methods, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
