Scientists hope these tiny froglets can save their species https://phys.org/news/2025-02-tiny-endangered-chilean-froglets-born.html

"It was quite the journey for such tiny #froglets: traveling thousands of miles from the forests of southern #Chile to London, carried and brooded inside their fathers' vocal sacs for safety... #LondonZoo said Monday that 33 endangered Darwin's #frogs were born in their new home as part of a rescue mission to save the species from #extinction."

Lots of tiny common #froglets emerging from the #ponds at #WWTCastleEspie. These were no larger than 1cm.

Leap in the dark: On a mission to rescue the #Caribbean's biggest #frog https://phys.org/news/2023-10-dark-mission-caribbean-biggest-frog.html

"Working from dusk to dawn, the frog seekers braved steep terrain and treacherous riverbeds in their quest to find the world's last remaining wild #MountainChickens. Worryingly, their combined efforts succeeded in recording just 23 #frogs... More encouragingly, they did encounter two juveniles and five #froglets, indicating that the species is still breeding."
