Science Nation - Disappearing Frogs: Trying to Save the World's Amphibians

Frogs in fight for their lives from disease, pollution, habitat loss.
Disease, pollution, and loss of habitat are killing off hundreds of species of amphibians. One of the biggest threats right now is an aquatic fungus called chytrid that infects the skin of these historically tough, resilient creatures.

@artistdigital listen buddy frogs are important too but people are also important but if we save the animals they can save us like toads they eat bugs that include mosquitoes and bugs that carry deadly diseases so like the saying:save the frogs and the frogs will save us! or something like that

@Snapscape Lets see if you can comment back, if you are one of them!

@artistdigital There's 6 billion people on the planet. Far from extinct. Hopefully more natural disasters and diseases will keep changing that number. They're the cause to their own demise.

@brick4sale Agree with you. Artistdigital is really ignorant. If the extinction rate continued in this rate. The next mass extinction will be the amphibians! Most ignorant people dont think far. If amphibians are totally wipe out from Earth. Some discease carrying bugs will rocket up in population and indirectly kill us humans.

Not only are they dying but so many have severe deformities, this problem is huge.

@artistdigital Frogs do many important duties in our environment, without them whole ecosystems are at risk! Human beings aren't dying in the millions, frogs are, your comment is extremely ignorant.
