Golden frog hotel and restaurant

In yesterday's post, I briefly mentioned a project to save Panamian golden frogs from deadly fungus that is threatening to wipe out the entire species. Here is a short video of how it is done.

They put the frogs up in a hotel room and feed them crickets and bugs that are collected at nights by research project staff. I admire these people's dedication, but am I the only one who also finds this hilarious?

In any case, enjoy the video, and see you next week. I am planning to go foraging again on Sunday, and if I'm very lucky, I'll be bringing home some ceps. I'm greatly looking forward to it!
