Frog of the Week

@OhKimmies

As someone who was completely obsessed with frogs as a kid, this podcast has re-opened the floodgates for my love of these astounding amphibians. Frog of the Week is a delightful, bite-sized podcast that serves up exactly what the name suggests. Listeners get a no-nonsense, threeminute dose of the frog world, along with some quirky tidbits and hilarious wordplay. One of my favourites was about the gray-eyed frog, which lays its eggs on the tips of leaves that hang over bodies of water, protecting them from their aquatic enemies. The eggs are surrounded by a unique substance that is produced and literally whipped together by the mother’s back legs. Once the tadpoles hatch, bam! They conveniently drop into the water below. How cool is that?! So perk up your tympanums, hop in the pond, and enjoy learning about the largest and most diverse amphibian group on the planet.
