Saturdays at 10 a.m.: The Atlanta Botanical Garden invites visitors to the Fuqua Conservatory lobby for a public frog feeding event. During this session, an amphibian specialist will provide insights into the feeding behaviors of frogs while answering questions about these intriguing creatures.
Public frog feedings offer a unique opportunity to observe the fascinating feeding strategies of various amphibians. Most frogs utilize long, sticky tongues that extend to capture prey, exhibiting remarkable speed and accuracy. This can be particularly evident with species such as Poison frogs, where the rapid disappearance of flies captivates onlookers. In contrast, frogs like the fringed leaf frog display more theatrical feeding techniques, using their forelimbs to assist in consuming crickets.
