And I think it’s really important to people, to it’s important to me, it’s important to people in general. I really like the peaceful feeling that I get when I’m out in nature. If you go outside of the national parks, there would always be destruction. And from that experience, I also saw a lot of environmental destruction. And that came primarily from traveling all around the world and camping out, visiting national parks, spending a lot of time in nature. And then later in life, I did gain a significant appreciation of the outdoors and nature and wildlife. I didn’t think too much about them, but I’m sure it went into my subconscious. Actually, my parents built upon when I was young, so on the property we had lots of frogs still do fortunately. And the wonder that our frogs and we could probably start with basically, what was it that hooked you into the world of amphibians and frogs and the first. So super excited about that and what I was hoping to do, Kickstart a little bit is let’s just celebrate frogs for a moment. And I only have a very superficial knowledge of frogs, and I have this wonderful opportunity to talk to an expert, a global expert, nonetheless, on the topic.

Kriger has personally developed many educational resources as well, and offers 28 days of free access to his deep-dive content in the Frog Academy. If you want to create habitat, go on an ecotour, or simply get inspired by amphibians, check out. Kriger fills us in on a huge variety of projects, outreach, tours, and more that Save The Frogs! offers. For example, American Bullfrogs are not native to the American West, and have had a huge impact on western amphibian populations.ĭr. Kriger also discusses other treats to amphibians, including habitat loss, climate change, and the challenges with American Bullfrog importation and their spreading to non-native locations. And did you know that frogs are called gape-limited predators? Meaning, if it fits in their mouth, it’s fair game. We take a few steps back and discuss amphibian diversity and lifecycles, the impact of hydro-periods ranging from permanent water to seasonal pools, frog dispersal and mobility, vocalizations, and more.
