Save the Frogs!
Today is Save the Frogs Day 2010!
SAVE THE FROGS! is America's first and only public charity dedicated exclusively to amphibian conservation. Their mission is to protect amphibian populations and to promote a society that respects and appreciates nature and wildlife. Their vision is a world in which not a single amphibian species is threatened with extinction.
There's a surprising, if not a little disquieting, amphibian news story floating around the Internet this week following a report in the journal Acta Zoologica - scientists have discovered a species of frog whose tadpoles let out a metallic sounding "scream" if they are under distress.
The screaming tadpoles are those of the horned frog Ceratophrys ornata which is found in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Scientist Dr Guillermo Natale of the National University of La Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and his colleagues made the discovery when they were studying the mating calls of adult frogs.
