DESCRIPTION:

April is National Frog Month. We're still determining how it started or where it came from, but several organizations have adopted it. The National Wildlife Federation is leading, and other organizations include Busch Gardens, which uses this month to showcase its 90 different varieties of frogs.

According to Busch Gardens:

"Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin. Frogs breathe through their nostrils but absorb about half the air they need through their skin. Frogs use their eyes to help them swallow food."

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) also has a program you can participate in, FrogWatch USA. FrogWatch USA is AZA's flagship citizen science program that invites individuals and families to learn about the wetlands in their communities and help conserve amphibians by reporting the calls of local frogs and toads. For over ten years, volunteers entered their FrogWatch USA information and ongoing analyses of these vast amounts of data, which in turn has been used to help develop practical strategies for the conservation of these critical species.

Frog Watch USA is a fabulous opportunity for parents and teachers to introduce children to science and research, saving frogs simultaneously.
