#DidYouKnow there is an entire week dedicated to our favorite slimy, scaly friends?

It's #AmphibianWeek! Get ready to hop into action and spend some time learning about how frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders keep our ecosystem running smoothly. Amphibians play a crucial role in controlling populations of disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes. Without them, the unchecked rise of these pests could pose significant threats to humans, livestock, and plants alike.🦎🐸
