Krkonoše frogs have started spring migration
The time has come for frogs to migrate to their spawning grounds. Ideal for them is a warm humid evening, when, driven by the reproductive instinct, they set out on a dangerous pilgrimage. Every year, many of them end up under the wheels of cars crossing roads. In the Giant Mountains, frogs help protect permanent and temporary barriers so that amphibians do not end up under the wheels of cars. Conservationists then go to check the barriers several times a day. In the current weather, there are not so many frogs, but when it rains, their number will double.
