Welcome to Frog World
Frogs are a long-time fascination of mine and I hope this site can be a forum for users to share information, pictures, and news from their favorite frogs. As Frog World grows, I plan to add some pretty nifty features to inform and entertain all of those looking to learn about frogs.
Have you taken a picture of an unusual frog or have a cool idea for the site? Please email me at info[at]frogworld.net.
