Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog: Restoring Ecosystem Balance

Amazing Wildlife highlights an animal found in high-elevation streams in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the mountain yellow-legged frog. Hosts Rick and Ebone uncover facts about California’s endemic species, including their unique sounds and the reason why scientists estimate there are fewer than 200 remaining in nature. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Research Coordinator, Leah Jacobs, joins the show to explain the large-scale reintroduction project for this endangered frog and the challenges conservationists face as they try to restore ecosystem balance.
