White's tree frogs are often very fat, with folds of flesh on their bodies. The skin on their bellies is loose and helps the frogs grip as they climb up slippery tree trunks.
Halt ordered to tree-cutting
Halt ordered to tree-cutting Park officials cutting down trees in a park in
Nova Scotia were ordered to put down their chainsaws by a court
injunction. A group protesting the cutting down of the trees won a
court battle to have the removal of trees stopped. The trees were
being removed because they were infested by a tree-killing beetle,
the brown spruce longhorn beetle. The opposing group, Friends of
Point Pleasant Park, claimed that the tree-cutting measure was
based on faulty science, and would do nothing but leave the park
with less trees. 16 AUGUST 2000
