Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, showcasing the unique feeding behaviors of frogs. An amphibian specialist will be present to share interesting facts and address any questions regarding these fascinating creatures.
During the feedings, attendees can observe one of the most captivating aspects of frogs – their feeding techniques. Many frogs possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. Certain species, such as Poison frogs, exhibit remarkable speed and precision, making flies disappear in an instant. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, demonstrate more theatrical feeding habits by using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
