Frogs are truly fascinating animals and have been an interest of mine since the early eighties. After a short introduction to basic characteristics, classification, and habitat of frogs the talk will focus on the more bizarre facts that specific species of frogs exhibit. After covering extremes such as flying frogs, frogs smaller than a dime, larger than a chicken or deadlier than a rattlesnake, we transition to some of the more interesting aspects related to the reproduction and brood care of frogs. Marsupial frogs, feeder eggs, and tadpoles living off the stomach lining of the mother will become familiar concepts. Finally, of course no talk about frogs would be complete without the most famous frog of them all --- KERMIT.
