Oh no! Frogs are going extinct!


Did you know that because of a certain fungus the Earth's population of frogs is facing extinction? Just like the dinosaurs, frogs may one day no longer exist. The fungus is called the chytrid fungus and feeds on keratin, which is a part of the skin that makes it sturdy and tough. Scientists believe that a third of the Earth's population of frogs may face extinction, and some species have already been wiped out. Currently there is no effective treatment for the fungus, but scientists are working hard to help the frogs.
