All species of frogs can get infected but terrestrial species fare better the frogs living in wet habitats where the fungus thrives.
"Differences in some of the frogs skin can make them more susceptible to Chyrid" says Karen Lips.
1) Do you think all the frogs will soon die off because of Chytrid?
2)Do you think it can be stopped?

I think they will all die if we dont do anything. But i think they are going to try to do something about it buacause frog are living things and they do something in life.
ReplyDeleteIf the fongus keeps growing then nothing can stop the fongus from killing the frogs. If we humans have some actions then we can do something about it because we are the creatures that has the most impact on the world and can change the fact of the frogs dieing.
ReplyDeleteI think that the frog are not going to died but for the other questions it think the sientific are going to try to do something.
ReplyDeletethis is interesting because i never heard of a fungi that can do all that and also i think that this can not stop because its impossible to get rid of chydrid to stop the killings.
ReplyDeletei think that they will all die just like alex said, but everything is dying these days just casue were not caring about our world and soon our world is going to end
