http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/frogs-the-thin-green-line/introduction/4763/ New Episode Premieres Sunday, April 5, 2009 at 8pm on PBS (check local listings) Frogs have been living on this planet for more than 360 million years. Today, however, all their remarkable adaptations and survival tactics are failing them. Recent discoveries are startling: more than a third of all amphibians – most of which are frogs and toads – have already been lost, and more are disappearing every day. A fungus called chytrid has been identified as the major culprit, and so far the spread of the fungus can’t be stopped.
