The Amphibian Foundation's Frog Blog

We have had a lot of positive feedback regarding our logo (which is a stylized Flatwoods Salamander larva) and our shirts, which are available at TeePublic . Proceeds from shirt sales support The Amphibian Foundation and our conservation initiatives. We have been encouraging people to send in photos wearing their new shirts and we'll post them! We are going to start with two amphibian internet celebrities, Amanda Sargent (of Instagram's The Amanda Files ) and Ethan Kocak (of Twitter's BlackBudpuppy ) Ethan sporting a new logo design that he himself inspired with his incredible Twitter avatar of me. Ethan is an artist and storyteller, and draws the comic Black Mudpuppy . He is also the purveyor of fine science avatars - see his Twitter page for details. Amanda wearing her TAF shirt and holding a charming Whites Tree Frog. She runs a great and informative Instagram page where she shares images and information about the natural history and conservation of reptiles

Welcome to the #CritterLab - which houses reptiles and amphibians for captive breeding projects, as well as part of the teaching collection for our Critter Camps and Atlanta Urban Ecology programs. The lab is not open to the public, but we will have Open Houses throughout the year.

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2h6JC1s Got my awesome Amphibian Foundation t-shirt!! It's a great design of a juvenile salamander and better yet, it helps this amazing conservation group with fundraising to accomplish their goals by the end of the year. Amphibians are in SERIOUS trouble and 40% of them are in danger of going extinct or have already been wiped out...more than any other group of animals! Go check out @frogsneedourhelp, follow them and get your t-shirt today! #amphibian #amphibians #frogsneedourhelp #frogs #frog #salamander #animals #tshirt #conservation #help #getinvolved #howyoucanhelp - #regrann
