Welcome

Welcome to the homepage of Frogs of the World aka Red Eyed Tree Frogs. You can probably tell, but I love red eyed tree frogs. They are beautiful amazing creatures, but with a lot of feelings too. Every part of them is amazing, from anatomy to the way they eat. They are very social creatures. They have an amazing jump and very long legs. On this site I will not only talk about Red Eyed Tree Frogs, but about other frogs too. Although I will talk the most about Red-Eyed Tree Frogs. I will try and mention most frogs, whether blue poison dart frog or the frog you see in your very own backyard. I love frogs, and everybody else in the world should too. Frogs should survive on earth forever, but there is one problem, global warming. Global Warming and pollution (plus many other causes) are destroying frogs as we know them. And, by 2050 they may be all, every last one of them, extinct. But if it is up to me, that will not happen, for that is the reason I created this blog.

Some Sad Facts

While writing a report on frogs I learned some really sad facts. Before 1980 one frog species would go extinct every 250 years. Now since 1980, a period of thirty years, 200 species of frogs have gone extinct. It usually takes 5,000 years for that many species to die, not thirty! Also 3,000 out of the 6,000 species of frogs are extinct. We need to save frogs!

Save Frogs Day

Hooray! For once frogs got the publicity to their problems they deserve. For last April 30 it will be Save the Frogs Day. This was celebrated all over the world. There was be art contests, competitions, writing contests and much more. There was rallies in their favor. Last April 30 I hope you celebrated frogs by entering a competition, or going to a rally. Look into it today, save frogs! (Save the Frogs day is celebrated every April 30, so if you didn't celebrate last April, celebrate this upcoming April!)

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog. As I mentioned above I will make posts on any frog news, but especially red-eyed tree frogs. Sadly though red-eyed tree frogs are one of the most endangered species of frogs. because they live in the rain forest, the threat is worse. People are cutting down the rain forest every single day, so their habitat is almost GONE!
