With #Halloween approaching, what haunts you? I often worry about how quickly #animals are going extinct, and especially #frogs. Here's some of the ways your support can help me prevent then from becoming #environmental ghosts: patreon.com/MyFrogCroaked #FridayFeeling #FrogFriday
Did you know? Many baby #frogs (tadpoles) act as “river lawn mowers” by grazing on algae and plant material that falls into rivers. Their presence helps protect clean water which people and #wildlife both depend on. #FrogFriday
Also, #frogs may help control the spread of human #diseases spread by #insects, like #malaria, dengue & Zika. The tadpoles of some frog species are carnivorous & kill mosquito eggs & larvae. Keeping frogs healthy can help keep people healthy too patreon.com/MyFrogCroaked #OneHealth
Did you know? Frogs also provide an important food source for many #animals. A diversity of fish, birds, #snakes, mammals, insects & spiders prey upon #frogs and could have a harder time finding dinner if frogs continue to disappear patreon.com/MyFrogCroaked #FrogFriday #scicomm
But aside from all these reasons why #frogs are so important, I believe that they're simply amazing creatures that deserve to be admired and protected patreon.com/MyFrogCroaked #rainforest #conservation #OneHealth
