It LOOKS easy being green. Probably isn’t, though.

A little late to the #worldfrogday party but we wanted to share our Frog's in a box collection, with it's herpetological commentary from the Smithsonian Folkways collection.

I just heard it's #WorldFrogDay
But I don't have any frogs, just toads so I'm going with that. Sonoran Desert Toad (Incilius alvarius).

It's not hard to get them to eat from my hand, but they don't really get tame and I can't tell them apart. They're still hibernating but should be out soon.

The song of the frogs in Spring is my inspiration for this vessel. Mist-kissed dawn, a hush so sweet, Frog-song hums where waters meet. Petals wake in golden light, Spring’s soft whisper, fresh and bright. What do you find inspiring about Spring? #spring #equinox #worldfrogday

This #WorldFrogDay, hop to it and help frogs!

Keep habitats clean.
Protecting frogs means protecting water in our neighborhood. They need pristine conditions to thrive. When caring for your home and lawn, use pesticides and fertilizer sparingly. Excess chemicals https://t.co/epUaVeSSVp

It happens to be World Frog Day

Happy world frog day!! I love all batrachians and it always makes me happy to draw them.

Did you know that there are over 1000 species of frogs in the Amazon- and those are the ones we know about!

For World Frog Day, we want to highlight award-winning documentary River of Gold, about the Amazon River Basin. Lesson 4 in our free curriculum guide explores the Biodiversity of the Amazon. It's a great way to inspire students about conservation efforts to protect frogs, and the other flora and fauna of the Amazon. This lesson is designed for grades 9-10 and is a great choice for Biology, Environmental Studies, and Geography classes!

This lesson is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

How do poisonous frogs avoid poisoning themselves? On #WorldFrogDay, this graphic takes a look at frog poisons and their effects: https://www.compoundchem.com/2017/09/26/poisonousfrogs/

from many years ago (with my first wonderful and gentle westie, Moomin)

No frogs or dogs were harmed at this meeting.

20 March: #SpringEquinox AND #WorldFrogDay AND #WorldRewildingDay —so much to celebrate! What should jump to mind?
That while most of the world's conservation funding goes to large, charismatic animals, amphibians are more threatened than any other group of vertebrates!

For #MarshMadness and in (dubious) honor of #WorldFrogDay I've painted a water scavenger beetle, Regimbartia attenuate. These tiny, unassuming guys are famous for their ability to avoid predation by frogs... by crawling right out the other end, unscathed. Prevailing theory is that a strengthened exoskeleton keeps the beetles safe from digestive enzymes as they crawl their way through the frog's digestive tract, and air pockets trapped in the elytra allow them to breathe until they can get some fresh air outside.

Happy World Frog Day! A day to celebrate all frogs, but let’s be real—Kermit is the MVP. Whether he’s singing about rainbows or just trying to keep the Muppets in line, he’s the frog we all aspire to be. #WorldFrogDay
