Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden hosts public frog feedings, where visitors can observe frogs responding to their meals. An amphibian specialist will be present to share interesting facts and answer questions about these captivating creatures.
These public feedings provide an opportunity to witness one of the most fascinating aspects of amphibian behavior – feeding habits. Many frogs possess long, sticky tongues that rapidly extend to catch prey. Some species, such as Poison frogs, demonstrate remarkable speed and precision, causing onlookers to see only flies vanish. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, exhibit dramatic feeding techniques, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
