Frog in a Bucket

The staff had a great time coming up with the title of October's special enrichment day at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. "Frogtober" will be this Saturday, October the 18th. All day long, the keepers will be putting out frog related toys, and the public can appreciate the natural stalking, relaxing, searching, eating, hunting, and playing behaviors of a wide variety of species.

A duel message of "Frogtober" is the fact that many species of frogs are threatened with extinction. The zoo has the Save the Frogs! Amphibian Conservation Center where many rare and beautiful species are exhibited. Guests can learn about the threats to their survival, and what they can do to help.
