What eats fish, fowl, snails, fruit, crawfish, and frogs? Frogs do. The neckless, tailless charmers of class Amphibia count some voracious eaters among their ranks, and what they eat is nothing compared to how they reproduce, where they live, and how they survive in hostile environments. The A Chorus of Colors exhibition offers a fascinating sample of the great biodiversity of frogs by presenting 24 different species, ranging in size from that of a quarter to a dinner plate. The show includes a luxe vivarium with nine kinds of dart poison frogs living together (safely — they're on a nontoxic diet), complete with a FrogCam. Informative, fun, and funny, these cool rooms at the AMNH provide a perfect place to wait out the frog days of summer.
