Should we stop saying "save the whales" and say "save the frogs?"

Schucks. I think the world would be better off if the French were extinct.

Oh, this thread is about amphibians! My bad. Nothing to see ...

"Frogs and toads are becoming extinct all over the world. It's the same magnitude event as the extinction of the dinosaurs," said Luis Coloma, a herpetologist,
I got more frogs in my small fish pond then fish. Different species from big ones to small ones. The lake across the street is humming with them. Dinosaours on the other hand, there isn't many of them around. Luis should go back to studing herpes.

More environmental alarmism from the far-left.

"Frogs and toads are becoming extinct all over the world. It's the same magnitude event as the extinction of the dinosaurs," What's the big deal? We've gotten along just find without all those pesky dinosaurs.

Those of us who are French might object to that.

This has been noticed for some time, since the 1950s at least. The reasons are not clear. Fungus, virus, climate, loss of habitat, etc., are all possible explinations jointly or severally.

Adios Mofos.
Seriously, no shortage of toads in my yard these last two years. It's practically a toad invasion.

Toads and frogs are dying out under pressure from the expansion of agriculture, forestry, pollution, disease and climate change, NatureServe said. All the frogs came out of the pond one night, went someplace, and never came back.

Deformities undoubtedly impair amphibian survival and most likely contribute to the dramatic declines in populations
