Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, where visitors can observe frogs engaging in their feeding behaviors. An amphibian specialist will present the feedings, sharing intriguing facts and answering questions about these fascinating creatures.
This event offers a unique opportunity to witness the diverse feeding habits of frogs. Many species possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey, with some, such as Poison frogs, demonstrating remarkable speed and accuracy, making it appear as if flies vanish instantaneously. In contrast, species like the fringed leaf frog display more dramatic feeding techniques, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
