Frog Blog III

Made my first visit to the poison dart and golden frogs at the NC Zoo Tropical Aviary at lunchtime today.

They look great in their handsome exhibits. The brilliant blue and larger dyeing poison dart frogs were easiest to find, in quantity, in the larger exhibit.

You had to look closer for the bumblebee poison dart frogs in the same exhibit. Laura Valadez tells me they might have been trying to stay out of the way of a bullying dyeing poison dart frog. (That frog might have to be removed for a while.)

I could still find all the frogs by utilizing the many viewpoints left open in the larger exhibit, the outside of which you can go entirely around.

The smaller exhibit, of Panamanian golden frogs, is up against a wall, and they too were staying out of the open. Still, I found them soon enough. (Laura helped.)
