Before He Croaks


A Bolivian Water frog, labelled Romeo by his keepers, has apparently had his prayers answered (https://www.geek.com/news/romeo-finds-his-juliet-in-the-bolivian-wilderness-1769682/). This has all been done without his dating app on the web. Although there was a fear that he might be the last of his line, a female has been located in a stream and the hope is to introduce the pair with a view to generating froglets that can be used in reintroduction programmes. Amphibia, across the globe, are currently having a very tough time.
