Synopsis

A carefully crafted a wonderful tribute to the amazingly complex frog. Fantastic colour photographs of the most exotic frogs that exist A companion to the unique travelling exhibit - one of the most popular ever at museums throughout America - pays long-overdue homage to the fascinating frog. With richly colourful photos and compelling, informative descriptions, John and Deborah Behler have carefully crafted a wonderful tribute to the amazingly complex frog. With decades of expertise in conservation, the Behlers are unequalled in their ability to capture the wild and ever-changing world of these amphibians - all 5,000 species. They reveal an unexpected diversity of form, lifestyle, and ecology, and take readers on a magical journey that makes vibrantly clear why these creatures are so important. Breathtaking and brilliant images show tadpoles in water and on leaves; a many-hued variety of frogs (bright blue, golden yellow and black, red and turquoise) in their environment; African sand frogs and chirping frogs; Oriental fire-bellied frogs; and tiny three-toed toadlets - among the smallest that exist. It's a vision not to be missed.
