Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, offering visitors an opportunity to observe the feeding behaviors of these fascinating amphibians. An amphibian specialist will be present to share informative insights and respond to questions about various frog species.
During the feedings, attendees can witness one of the most intriguing aspects of frogs – their feeding techniques. Many frogs possess long, sticky tongues that extend rapidly to capture prey. Species such as Poison frogs demonstrate remarkable speed and precision, making it appear as though flies vanish instantly. In contrast, the fringed leaf frog showcases a more theatrical approach by using its hands to stuff crickets into its mouth.
