Frogs and Sex
August 22nd 2009 14:28
If there is something going wrong in nature, the first one we blame is a human. Man destroys the environment and nature suffers. It seems that in today's mishap caused by humans, we are responsible for ruining the sex lives of frogs.
Why you ask? Because the noise from heavy traffic interferes with the males' mating calls. This is why, according to the study, frog populations are declining. My guess is that with more traffic than ever, frogs are being run over like never before!
I have to question this study because most animals have other ways of attracting mates and marking territories. With an instinct as powerful as mating, I believe that animals will evolve and adapt to suit their needs. The declining numbers may be due in part to traffic but there must be other factors involved.
