- Today marks Oakland Zoo's 18th release, with 626 yellow-legged frogs across 3 different species all of them categorized as "threatened."
- A tremendous amount of work goes into the frogrelease programs at Oakland Zoo, before the frogs are viable enough to be released back into the wild.
- This conservation effort will continue at Oakland Zoo, in partnership with San Francisco Zoo & Gardens, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and National Park Service, as long the species remains threatened.
- After today's release, Oakland Zoo Biodiversity Center is holding another 230 adult frogs as they await their release later this summer.
