NYC Frog Project on the Road
Oceanario de Lisboa
Lisbon, Portugal
The Oceanrio de Lisboa claims to be the best aquarium in Europe, and it just might be. It's certainly the best I've been to. In addition to being home to the best fish ever . . .
. . . it also has quite a nice display of frogs.

Snowzilla 2016
79th Street Playground
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
I've posted pictures of these frogs before, both on this blog and on my Tumblr blog of NYC playground frogs. But this time, it's different. This time, Snowzilla has been here. The official total at JFK airport was 30.5 inches, and Central Park logged 26.8, just 1/10 of an inch shy of the record, which was set in 1869.

Frogs of the Times
Good New on the Fungus Front
According to the article: "After a six-year effort, researchers on the Spanish island of Majorca have rid several groups of Maorcan midwife toads of the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis--better known as chytrid fungus, or B.d. It's the first time the disease, which is devastating amphibians worldwide, has been eradicated in a wild population."
