Saturdays at 10 a.m.: Visitors are invited to the Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to observe the frogs as they spring into action when presented with their meals. An amphibian specialist will be on hand to share fascinating facts and answer questions about these intriguing creatures.
Public frog feedings provide guests with the opportunity to witness one of the most captivating aspects of these amphibians – their feeding behaviors. Most frogs possess long, sticky tongues that shoot out at their prey. Some species, such as Poison frogs, execute this process with remarkable speed and precision, leaving visitors in awe as they watch flies vanish in an instant. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, display dramatic feeding techniques, using their hands to stuff crickets into their mouths.
