Saturdays at 10 a.m.: Visitors are invited to the Fuqua Conservatory lobby at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to watch the frogs leap into action when presented with their meals. An amphibian specialist will share fascinating facts and address inquiries about these captivating creatures.
Public frog feedings provide attendees the chance to observe one of the most intriguing aspects of these amphibians – their feeding behaviors. Most frogs possess long, sticky tongues that shoot out at prey. Some, such as Poison frogs, can perform this action with remarkable speed and accuracy, making flies seemingly vanish before the eyes of visitors. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, showcase dramatic feeding techniques, stuffing crickets into their mouths with their hands.
