Today we visited the Critically Endangered Southern Corroboree Frogs at Melbourne Zoo! It is their breeding season so we were lucky enough to see them out and about as part of Zoos Victoria’s Threatened Species Conservation Program. There are less than 50 Southern Corroboree Frogs left in the wild in their alpine habitat on Mount Kosciusko.
