Making frog-ress 🐸 

Over 200 mountain yellow-legged frogs were released near Idyllwild, California this summer to help bolster the critically endangered local population. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance works in partnership with @usfws, @californiadfw, @u.s.forestservice, @usgs, @ucla, @theomahazoo, and @castateparks to raise these captive-bred frogs and study their lifecycles in the wild. 

Mountain yellow-legged frogs are declining due to habitat loss, disease, and drought, but the headstart program is giving these happy hoppers a fighting chance in their natural habitat.
