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 frog species. An amphibian specialist will be present to share interesting facts and answer questions about these captivating creatures.
During the feedings, attendees will witness one of the most intriguing aspects of amphibian life. Many frogs possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. For example, Poison frogs demonstrate remarkable speed and precision, causing flies to vanish almost instantly. In contrast, species such as the fringed leaf frog showcase more theatrical feeding styles, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
