Another Mass Extinction?


That what they're saying. According to U.S. biologists and researchers from the University of California-Berkeley there have been devestating amphibian decline world-wide. This event is caused by a virulent fungus that may be damaging to more than our little slimy, bumpy friends.

Seeing as amphibians have been around for, oh, 250 million years and counting, it's hard to imagine what could wipe them out. Still...hopefully we can find something that will help these fun little animals regain their sticky foothold (sorry for all the descriptiveness...I'm in a mood today lol).

I found this story, and many interesting others, at http://blog.hmns.org/
