June 1, 2007 - January 1, 2008
The Museum has created Frogs!, an exhibition featuring amphibians, which will be on display June 1, 2007 through January 1, 2008.
The new exhibit will display a wide variety of species, including the colorful, popular Poison Dart Frogs and Red-Eyed Treefrogs. Other species on view will include Clown Treefrogs, Marine Toads, Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs, Beautiful Mantellas and Painted Mantellas. Visitors will also see live, exotic animals that belong to the frogs’ ecosystem, including a Matamata, Axolotl, Greater Siren, Boa Constrictor and Long Legged Katydids.
In addition to getting eyeball-to-eyeball with new frogs from around the world, visitors will have the opportunity to try their luck in the Rainforest Adventure Maze. Surrounded by a range of jungle sounds, including the croaks, chirps, whoops, trills and whistles used by frogs, explorers descend through the four layers of the rainforest by answering ecology questions. Incorrect answers lead to dead-ends describing the many threats to the survival of the rainforest. Correct answers lead visitors further into the rainforest. Along the way, kids can get into the swing of things on the Brachiation Bars, designed to mimic the swing of the spider monkey, among many other fun, interactive activities.
Frogs! is underwritten by The Hamill Foundation and the Houston Museum of Natural Science Volunteer Guild.
