Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, where visitors can observe the feeding behaviors of various frogs as they interact with their meals. An amphibian specialist will be present to share informative insights and address any questions regarding these fascinating creatures.
This event highlights some of the most intriguing aspects of amphibian life, particularly their feeding techniques. Many frogs utilize long, sticky tongues to capture prey, exhibiting remarkable speed and precision. For example, Poison frogs demonstrate such swift accuracy that observers often see only flies vanishing. In contrast, the fringed leaf frog engages in more dramatic feeding behaviors, using its hands to assist in consuming crickets.
