Better to see you with my dear 🐸👀 #DYK that the bulging eyes of most frogs allow them to see in front, to the sides, and partially behind them (almost 180 degrees).
#RBGfrogs Exhibit is on now at RBG Centre until April 16

Nothing is impossible for a Vietnamese mossy frog (Theloderma corticale). Mossy frogs have sticky pads on their toes that allow them to adhere to trees and rocky crevices in Northern Vietnam.

Protect the environment of the trails - please do not bring along seed to feed the birds and chipmunks! “Cute” photos aren’t worth the damage that feeding causes. Learn more here: rbg.ca/feed-the-birds… twitter.com/rbgcanada/stat…

Signs of spring abound on the #RBGtrails! Snow, rain, and rising temps can result in soft/muddy conditions. To minimize trail widening, walk in the middle as much as possible. That means getting your feet mucky and going straight through a puddle or two 🥾 rbg.ca/trails
