They can hear the frogs moaning from the middle of the channel?Originally posted by darmstadt View PostWINTER animals of Jersey are due to come out because of the wet weather.
Researchers are keenly awaiting the moaning frog (Heleioporus eyrie) to start breeding as Jersey gets its first deluge of the year.
The male moaning frog has a distinctive mating call that denotes its name; a long low moan.
ClimateWatch program manager Richard Weatherill says “These evasive burrowing frogs are hard to find but can easily be heard during their breeding season as they call out to attract a mate with their distinctive long low moan”.
UWA’s School of Animal Biology Assistant Professor Nicki Mitchell says the frogs are local to Jersey but there is concern that their populations are being affected by urbanisation and climate change.
“If the general public can help us find out where the moaning frog communities still are we can investigate the resilience of these enclaves and assess whether or not they are being affected by Jersey’s changing climate,” Prof Mitchell says.
If you are lucky enough to hear or see a resident moaning frog in your area, record your observation on the ClimateWatch website, along with other local wildlife sightings.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
