Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, offering an opportunity to observe amphibians in action as they respond to their meals. An amphibian specialist will be present to share informative details and answer questions about these intriguing creatures.
Visitors can witness one of the most fascinating aspects of amphibian behavior – feeding. Frogs, known for their long sticky tongues, exhibit varied feeding techniques. Some species, such as Poison frogs, demonstrate remarkable speed and accuracy, making flies appear to vanish before the eyes of spectators. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, showcase their feeding habits by using their hands to place crickets into their mouths.
