Where have all the frogs gone? Leap to Woodland Park Zoo and join staff celebrating recent uplifting news stories concerning the amphibian extinction crisis including the successful reintroduction and headstarting programs, rediscovery of presumed extinct amphibian species, and populations of some amphibians that are adapting to the effects of amphibian chytrid fungus. Enjoy frog-themed crafts, programming on our leaping friends in Zoomazium and special presentations.
