P&P's Signal Fun Facts Traditional Cache

If you spend a bit of time geocaching, chances are you'll see a frog with an antenna attached to his head. This is Signal the Frog, the official Geocaching mascot.

History
Signal was created in the early days of Geocaching.com as a way to represent the combination of technology and nature. Since then, Signal has become beloved by the geocaching community and appears on geocaching-related gear, trackables—and even in-person at some Mega-Events. If you see him, make sure to give him a high-five and discover his tracking code.

But Why a Frog?
If you'll notice, Signal isn't just a frog, he's a frog with an antenna attached to his head. We searched through the animal kingdom and we couldn't find any other antenna-enabled animals besides Signal, so the choice was easy.

Signal was born when Geocaching decided a fun way to represent GPS technology would be to give it a personality, so we decided on Signal the Frog. He doesn't talk, but he knows where he is and can point you in the direction you want to go. He's your GPS guide.
