Frogs Returns to AMNH Today

Frogs: A Chorus of Colors returns to the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday, May 28, 2011

American Museum of Natural History is located at Central Park West at 79th Street

This delightful exhibition will introduce visitors to the colorful and richly diverse world of frogs. More than 200 live frogs, from tiny dart poison frogs (some less than an inch long) to the enormous African bullfrog (as big as eight inches in diameter) will be shown in their re-created habitats, complete with rock ledges, live plants, and waterfalls. Approximately 25 species native to Argentina, Bolivia, Borneo, Brazil, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Madagascar, Myanmar, Paraguay, Russia, Sumatra, the United States, Uruguay, and Vietnam, will be featured. The exhibition will explore the evolution and biology of these amphibians, their importance to ecosystems, and the threats they face in the world's changing environments. Interactive stations throughout the exhibition will invite visitors to activate recorded frog calls, view videos of frogs in action, and test their knowledge about frogs.

This exhibition is presented with appreciation to Clyde Peeling's Reptiland.

ADMISSION Admission to the exhibition is $24 for adults, $14 for children, and $18 for seniors and students. For tickets, the public should call 212-769-5200 or visit www.amnh.org.
