Frog Feeding Encounter – Atlanta Botanical Garden

Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden will host frog feedings, where visitors can observe the feeding behaviors of these amphibians. An amphibian specialist will provide insights and answer questions about the captivating species being showcased.

Public frog feedings present a unique opportunity to witness the fascinating feeding techniques of frogs. Most species possess long, sticky tongues that they extend rapidly to catch prey. Some, such as Poison frogs, exhibit remarkable speed and precision, making it seem as though flies vanish instantaneously. In contrast, other species, like the fringed leaf frog, engage in more dramatic feeding patterns, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
