Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden will host a public frog feeding event. During this time, an amphibian specialist will provide insights and answer questions about the feeding behaviors of various frog species.
These public feedings offer a unique opportunity to observe fascinating aspects of amphibian life. Most frogs possess long, sticky tongues designed to capture prey effectively. Certain species, such as Poison frogs, demonstrate remarkable speed and precision in their feeding, often making it seem as if flies simply vanish. In contrast, species like the fringed leaf frog exhibit more dramatic feeding behaviors, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
