 Fringe Leaf Frog - LP Zoo

A fringe leaf frog, I have come new

As resident in time and place

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Connecting with you face to face.

The Amazon rain forests be

Where my species of frog comes from,

Living in the high canopy,

Never to the ground do we come.

Thus, in the wild, human contact

Is a very rare thing indeed.

But we coexist - that's a fact.

Humans can help us, if agreed.

I look forward to seeing you

Next time you're visiting the Zoo.
