Frogs may be great as pets because they're low maintenance.
But because of human activities, some species are in decline. If you decide to keep one, ensure that they're being bred in captivity.
Generally speaking, wild frogs should not be kept as pets. If you do catch one and intend to keep it as a pet, it's best to consult experts to determine what's best for the living creature and Mother Nature.
Tony's story ended up being a lot sweeter than anyone expected.
Researchers were left stunned when a mushroom grew on a live frog, and they still can’t explain how it happened.
