TikTok Tadpoles

From the creator

A Co Tyrone teenager's video diary of her collection of tadpoles has become a hit online leading to a deal with a US influencer agency. Hannah McSorley's videos of the thousands of tadpoles she has been tending to amid lockdown have amassed over 50 million views on the social media platform TikTok since the end of March. The 17-year-old started the project as an educational experience for her nine-year-old brother at their family home in Omagh, Co Tyrone. According to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency: “It is not illegal to collect frog spawn, but you should seek landowner's permission first.” In the Republic of Ireland: “You need a licence to collect and use frog spawn for educational purposes in Ireland.” Keep up to date with all the latest Irish and international news and current affairs with http://www.rte.ie/news Follow us on twitter @rtenews and on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/rtenews
