Frog calls in the rainforest can sometimes sound like dead spirits calling from their graves, and frogs’ mating rituals can take up to two days.
There is no end of subjects for an artist to paint. Even limiting oneself to frogs, there are infinite possibilities!
Read about the beginnings of A Frog House, how we restored its gardens without using pesticides, and how to build an easy frog-friendly habitat.
Mangroves, which generate fresh water via their own desalinization process, can also provide a peaceful haven for turtles to mate and lay their eggs.
Genovesa Island in the Galapagos is home to 150,000 pairs of varying species of boobies, as well as gulls, herons, pelicans, frigates, and albatross.
The Galapagos islands all sit on a underwater tectonic plate, which is moving southeast. The younger islands are northwest, the older southeast. While the islands will all eventually disappear underwater, they are currently home to 11 fascinating species of iguanas.
Thirty percent of Galapagos boobies live on Floreana. They are, like most other wildlife in the Island, calm and unflappable as they go about their daily business, either gazing curiously at or ignoring their visitors.
Floreana is known for its expansive white beaches, and for much yellow and white flora (flores), such as tree daisies. The island has a fascinating history!
