Amphibians 11 - Common Frogs
COMMON FROG Rana temporaria
·
This rather splendid Common Frog Rana temporaria
appeared to have been very well fed! Amphibians are becoming increasingly
threatened for all sorts of reasons including some rather unpleasant bacterial
diseases that have been increasing their geographical ranges due to global
warming but pressure from property developers, the cavalier use of so many
toxic substances without any consideration for the environmental consequences
and genetic isolation due to habitat loss cannot possibly help their plight.
Any assistance from altruistic gardeners will be welcomed.
