Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, allowing attendees to observe the fascinating feeding behaviors of frogs. An amphibian specialist will be present to share informative insights and answer questions about these intriguing creatures.
During the feedings, visitors can witness one of the most captivating aspects of amphibian life – their feeding strategies. Most frogs utilize long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. Some species, such as Poison frogs, exhibit remarkable speed and precision, often leaving onlookers with only the sight of flies vanishing. Other species, such as the fringed leaf frog, display more dramatic feeding techniques by using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
