| 441 :27x10 - Frogs: The Thin Green Line (Apr/05/2009) | | A closer look at the possible extinction of frogs, which have existed for over 250 million years now and are very important to the Earth's ecosystem. Scientists believe they may have found the reason for the amphibians dwindling numbers: the chytrid fungi, which flourishes in high altitudes. But unfortunately, they have no idea how to stop it. | |
