Scientists have discovered that the Chinese Concave-eared Torrent Frog (Odorrana tormota), can manipulate its hearing system to select particular frequencies (rather as humans might tune into individual radio stations) in order to selectively choose what it hears. The most likely reason for this evolutionary development is its extremely noisy environment.

Concerned individuals are encouraged to tell at least 5 people about the amphibian crisis and commit to an activity that will raise money in any amount of "5". The time frame for raising funds should be 5 days, 5 weeks or 5 months, in order to help Amphibian Ark raise $500,000 to save 5 species of frogs. Fifty ideas for getting involved are listed on the Amphibian Ark Web site .

This particular king was allegedly a distant relative of the French Merovingian dynasty founded by King Clovis and also said to have descended from a river god making the frog particularly significant. Could this be the origin of the Flemish nickname of "Froggy" for French soldiers during the Hundred Years’ War, which was later adopted by English sailors in the nineteenth century and lingers to this day?! And did the French fleur-de-lis start life as a frog? Certainly the water iris and frog bear striking similarities!

Amazing news appearing all over the Internet is this story about the discovery of the first lungless frog! Read the full story by Susan Milius in Science News

The species, Barbourula kalimantanensis, is so rare that until last year only two specimens were known to science and no herpetologist had seen it alive, says David Bickford of the National University of Singapore.

“It’s one of the most famous frogs in Borneo,” says Bickford. No one wanted to slice the frogs up for dissection, so no one had noticed the absence of lungs.”

Directed by Geoff Dunbar and written and produced by Paul McCartney this animated short follows Rupert Bear as he goes into the hills to play and finds his way into a mysterious cave where he witnesses a chorus of frogs who sing what was to become a top ten hit, We All Stand Together.

It won a UK BAFTA (British Academy Award) for Best Animated Short Film and was also released theatrically alongside Paul McCartney’s movie Give My Regards to Broad Street.
