Frogs are disappearing!
Associated Press reported: Frogs are disappaering rapidly, because of habital and climate change...as well as pollution.. But a special problem is a disease that’s spreading all over the world. A fungus called Chytrid.....When the fungus arrives in an area,50 percent in the area might go extinct within six months! I will post the entire article later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

But frogs are disappearing at an alarming rate-scientists estimate that from one-third to one-half of amphibian speices are in danger of extinction. That’s why this year-a leap year-of course-has been designated as Year of the Frog by Global Conservation Organizations. To raise awareness,many zoos and aquariums across the country will be holding events on leap day,Feb.29-2008... I will add more in a few minutes........... JP |

So frogs can be seen as an early warning system of problems that may eventually affect the rest of us! If chemicals in the water cause mutations and reproductive problems in frogs "and OSCAR" .....think what it could be doing to humans. Frogs are important for other reasonsas well.Frogs and tadpoles consume huge numbers of insects---many of which cause crop damage and disease----and are important food source for many other species. And amphibians are valuable to science in ways that directly affect humans... Save the frogs ..get rid of the humans.... Just Picking |
