The Natural World (BBC 1983 - 2012): The Man Who Loves Frogs
(1985)
Mike Tyler is a 'froggo' - a passion that began in a British pond and then embraced the frogs of the world. Now he courts them in the Australian bush where there's a greater variety than in the whole of Europe and North America combined.
There are frogs that burrow and climb, swim or bury themselves alive for years. Among the forest frogs, desert frogs and frogs of hot springs, mountain and shore he still finds frogs unknown to science. Most remarkable of all - and a creature we should all love for its potential benefit to our health - is the extraordinary frog that breeds its babies in its stomach and gives birth to them through its mouth.
