Frog Feeding Experience – Atlanta Botanical Garden

Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, where visitors can observe the frogs exhibiting their unique feeding behaviors. An amphibian specialist will be present to share interesting facts and respond to inquiries regarding these captivating creatures.

During these sessions, attendees will witness one of the most intriguing aspects of amphibians – their feeding techniques. Many frogs possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. For instance, some species, such as Poison frogs, demonstrate remarkable speed and precision, making it seem as though flies vanish before the eyes of the audience. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, engage in dramatic feeding displays, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
