I just rescued a frog from my puppies kiddie pool, and set it free. The first time I went outside, it was just swimming around. It looked like it was having fun so I left it alone. An hour later I checked on it, and it looked like it was trying to get out. I didn't want to scare it, so I put my hand under the frog, and slowly brought it up to the edge of the pool, but it stayed. I was shocked that it just stayed on my hand. I even petted its head with the other hand, and it wasn't at all afraid of me. Then I talked to it for a little bit, and it hopped to the ground (about 3 inches. I hope he learns math, and multiplies. Save The Frogs P. S. Yes, I washed my hands real good afterwards. LOL

I noticed the lack in frogs the last time my father and I went frog gigging. We live in an agricultural part of the state of Indiana. And not even two years later the frog population and average size decreased by a noticeable amount due to pesticides. We decided not to enjoy our favorite sport anymore in support of the growth and wellness of the ecosystem. Even though most people don't know what frogging is anymore we hope the population can return to its natural rythm. but hoping, in this case is no different from wishing

What to do. Stop buying from pet stores so they don't take as many animals from the wild and actively oppose new infrastructure being built other than that it seems not to be in our control as much unless your work for or run a company that affects frogs! Thank goodness Ted talks is so smart and people watch these videos.

In short, like every other science video nowadays, the answer is that we need to stop making cities and become tribal savages again, and not come into contact with animals at all. It's survival of the fittest. Humans take value over frogs.

I miss the frogs. My grandma used to have a lot of them in the backyard after a rainfall and now it's raining for 6 days in Poland and i heard only a few frogs near a pond (the pond has a lot of silt becouse it's near a mine that is being closed)

1: 51 The map is missing The United Kingdom, Ireland, Greenland, Iceland, Hawaii, the entire Caribbean, Borneo, all of Oceania, New Zealand, the Korean Peninsula, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar. This is ridiculous.

Meh cousin and i just saw this huge one and we decided to feed it. After feeding it did nothing. The frog wouldn't move from its spot so we used i a stick to gently poke it to the water. And we succeeded YAY
