Earthbound Farms' parent company, Taylor Farms, sent a statement to apologize for the slip-up.

"On the package, it says three times washed, or something like triple washed," she said. "I don't believe that it was washed or else they would have caught a whole live frog."

    • A Tree Frog Linked To Flowers

    Biology Xenohyla truncata jumps into flowers to drink the nectar

    Xenohyla truncata, commonly known as the Izecksohn's Brazilian Tree Frog, may not seem particularly unusual, but this unique species is the only known frugivorous frog in the world. The species, one of two in its genus, lives in the restingas of Rio de Janeiro, an environment threatened by human occupation. While taking an inventory of the fauna in the municipality of Búzios, a research group composed of technicians and graduate students from various universities recorded the vocalizations of these animals for the first time, and was surprised to observe that they jump into flowers and spend up to 15 minutes drinking the nectar. This is a unique food preference among amphibians, which could benefit plants through pollination and seed dispersal. Whether the frogs act as pollinators depends on whether the pollen reaches other flowers of the same species intact, which needs to be confirmed by further studies. It is possible that the pollen is damaged by substances secreted by the tree frogs' skin. "We don't know what led these animals to adopt this diet," says zoologist Luís Felipe Toledo of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), who supervises two of the students involved in the discovery. "We continue to find animals doing unexpected things," he points out (Food Webs, March 28).

Mark Thorne recorded a video of a snake that appears to be hanging out of the underside of a car as the vehicle passed by him on the highway. He said he witnessed the strange occurrence while traveling on Interstate 85 before getting off on exit 62 for Auburn and Opelika.

    rare amphibians :: Article Creator Conservationists Fight To Save Critically Endangered Amphibians As Trump Guts Endangered Species Act This week, conservationists from the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife teamed up with curators at the Los Angeles Zoo to preserve the critically endangered species. They trekked up to the pools carrying the endangered tadpoles and frogs in specialized temperature controlled backpacks. Although zoos and other wildlife organizations sometimes face criticism over concerns about animal welfare, breeding and raising an "assurance colony" in captivity can be one of the last recourses for an endangered species. These captive assurance colonies, which are organized by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plans, are breeding programs that ensure a species won't go extinct even if it does s...
