Mountain Chicken Frogs in Dramatic Rescue
Debs on Apr 22nd 2009
In one of the most dramatic frog rescue stories of recent years, 50 examples of the once common but now endangered 'mountain chicken' frogs from Montserrat (leptodactylus fallax) have been airlifted to safety and moved to several European zoos. It is hoped that the rescued frogs will breed in captivity in a bid to save them from extinction.
