Nashville Zoo is springing forward with some frog activities to mark the start of daylight-saving time on March 8. Activities and docent presentations will be in the Unseen New World, home to some of the wildest things never seen, like poison arrow frogs, hellbender salamanders and a giant anaconda.

As amphibians disappear at an alarming rate, Earth is facing the largest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs. During this event, guests can delve into the endangered world of amphibians and discover ways to prevent these small creatures’ permanent disappearance. Visitors can also test their knowledge of frogs in general and try their ears at identifying native frog calls.
Nashville Zoo opened six new frog exhibits in 2008 as part of a global effort to save amphibians. The new exhibits showcase the endangered golden frog and Puerto Rican crested toad.
