FROG PHONE

Image
Frog phone: - Is a device that allows scientists and researchers to monitor frogs in the wild. • Described as the world’s first solar-powered remote survey device that can be installed at any frog pond and which receives a 3G or 4G cellular network, it has been named “FrogPhone”. .↗️🐸🐸🐸🐸 • With FrogPhone, researchers can simply “call” a frog habitat. • After a call is made to one of the FrogPhones already on a site, the device will take three seconds to receive it. • During these few seconds, the device’s temperature sensors will get activated. ■ Significance: ---GPS based tracking of frogs  will reduce costs and risks, including the negative impact of human presence on the field site. • These devices also allow for monitoring of local frog populations more frequently than before, which is important because these populations are recognised as indicators of environmental health.
