Quotes

"What these characters are seeking to do is to boycott my names and rename them" he said
The purpose of the exhibit is to educate people about these fascinating creatures, Raxworthy said. For visitors, he said, "This is a great chance to find out interesting facts about frogs you probably have no idea about. The more you dig, the more weird and wonderful it gets."
"Everything's disrupted, everything's dug up, chopped down," Seifert said. "They come in and level the place, then they build a place and plant new plants. That will definitely drive the food sources out and the snakes are following because the snakes are predators."
"In essence, it's like closing the barn door long after the horse has left," she said. "Further restricting Xenopus at this point is probably going to have very little impact on the ongoing epidemic, but will certainly have a negative impact on biological and biomedical research."
