Mark Moffett finds frogs. And when he finds frogs, he finds
adventure. He describes a close encounter with the deadliest of all
the poison dart frogs in Colombia, South America. One accidental
brush up against the frog could mean death. ''I had to lie on the
ground with my camera only two inches away from the terribilis frog
to take her picture. Compared to most frogs, she was curious,
showing little fear. If you are deadly, you don''t have much to be
frightened of. Sometimes she hopped toward me, but I couldn''t allow
her to touch my skin. It was strange to be scared of such a pretty
frog''. In the wide world of frogs, some are fearsome and some are
friendly. Mark Moffett knows them all. Frogs are amphibians who
must spend much of their lives in water. So how can some frogs
survive in the desert? Frogs hatch from eggs as tadpoles. How do
they grow into full-fledged frogs? From metamorphosis to diet, from
habitat to distinctive features, Mark Moffett offers this exciting
and informative glimpse into the world of frogs. The breadth of the
diversity is astonishing. As with each Face to Face book, helpful
and accessible back matter, especially designed for report writers,
includes a facts-at-a-glance section, a conservation feature, a
science inquiry exercise, a glossary, an index, and how to find out
more.
