Nocturnal creatures only to be found during daylight hours attached to
the underside of leaves with their bright eyes closed and colorful
markings concealed. Both of these defense mechanisms are used to startle

Frogs have long been symbols of prosperity and fertility, dating back to
early Chinese and Egyptian civilizations.
However in today's world 30% of all frog populations are in danger of
extinction. Since 1980, 120 species of amphibians have disappeared from
our planet, while at the same time only 5 bird species and no mammals
have gone extinct.
Since frogs live on both land and in water they are an early indicator
for climate change, environmental pollution and habitat loss.
