Amphibians of Connecticut DVD
This new video DVD provides a view of local frogs and salamanders in their native habitats that has never been available before.
Taped entirely in Connecticut, Between Land & Water
documents the life cycles of native amphibians over an entire season.
Beginning with the thawing of vernal pools in early spring, this video
documentary follows native frog and salamander species to depict key
aspects of amphibian life cycles including spring migrations, calls and
mating seasons, and developmental phases from larval forms to
metamorphs to adults.
Videotaped and narrated by naturalist Brian Kleinman, Between Land & Water
also describes aspects of vernal pool, stream and woodland habitats
upon which amphibians rely as well the animals’ roles within native
ecosystems.
Insightful and informative, this DVD provides a valuable new resource for educators, libraries and museums—and for parents and families. It makes familiar calls such as those of Spring Peepers, Gray Tree Frogs or American Toads into invitations to explore native wildlife and habitats.
