Step into SparkLab for an adults-only night of science exploring amphibians: animals that live dual lives.

Journey through time with evolutionary biologist Dr Ian Brennan as he unpacks how amphibians evolved, adapted, and persisted through the millennia. From metamorphosis and moisture-loving skin to remarkable reproduction and distinctive frog calls, uncover what makes amphibians unique, and how they thrive in some of the world’s harshest environments.

With over 9,000 species of frogs, toads and more to explore, you’ll be introduced to familiar backyard friends along with the exotic and extraordinary. Discover how landscapes, climate, and evolution intertwine, and why understanding amphibians’ past is essential to protecting their future.
