BOILING FROGS
Based on the (debunked) boiling frog experiment. Can you detect the change?
The "boiling frog" experiment was debunked in the 19th century. Frogs do jump out of gradually heated water -- as long as they are not sedated or deceived.
But real frogs face a genuine slow-boiling crisis: habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and chytrid fungus have driven over 40% of amphibian species toward extinction. This is the real "boiling water" -- and unlike the myth, frogs can't just jump out.
Over 2,000 amphibian species are currently threatened. The global amphibian population has declined by an estimated 3.1% per year since 1970.
