There is a good short video about "Disappearing Frogs" on Live Science, which comes up on my computer in Yahoo. I tried to e-mail it to Cecil but it didn't work.
The story is about how 30% of the world's amphibians are in trouble for a variety of reasons, but most interesting was the talk of the aquatic fungus that is killing them off. The story takes place in a pond east of San Francisco, where biologists are studying frogs and salamanders.
I'm aware of the science Lynda. Thanks for thinking of me.
I will say one thing though. When I have my federal permit to take out problem herons my frog population explodes on the ponds. Go figure.
I have a theory that scientists my be missing something from the equation but could be wrong. That is, back when we used that nasty DDT perhaps predator birds like herons were down but now that we don't they are up? Hence less frogs?
