🐸 Frogs are masters of disguise! 🥷

They can blend into their surroundings by matching the colours, patterns, and even textures of 🍂 leaves, 🪵 bark, 💧 water, and 🟤 mud. Camouflage helps frogs stay hidden from predators and thrive in their natural habitats.

In this fun activity, you can design your own camouflaged frog and hide it within a habitat to discover how these amazing amphibians use camouflage in the wild!

Explore this activity and many more nature-inspired adventures on our Nature Kids page through the link in our bio. 🌿

Get to know the Franklin's Ground Squirrel! 🐿

This Alberta squirrel species lives in central Alberta but has become increasingly rare to see. Naturalists are of the impression the Franklin's Ground Squirrel population is declining 📉

Luckily, scientists at MacEwan University 👩‍🔬 , in partnership with Nature Alberta 🌿, are trying to learn more about it!
