Phil the Frog
Detailed Description
Phil the Frog is a USGS/Amphibian Monitoring and Research initiative (ARMI) phenomenon who embodies the spirit of amphibian conservation based on sound science. Phil was named after Dr. Phil Bishop of the University of Otago, New Zealand because he was a great herpetologist and champion of amphibians.
Fun fact, Phil is also the Senior Liaison to Inter-amphibian Monitoring and Engagement (SLIME), previously called Liaison for Ecosystems Amphibian Programs and Science (LEAPS).
