Rare frogs bred in New Zealand
A rare and threatened species of tiny frog has been found breeding in a New Zealand animal park, meaning its future may now be more secure, researchers said. The 13 finger nail-sized Maud Island froglets were discovered clinging to the backs of male frogs at the Karori wildlife sanctuary in Wellington, said researcher Kerri Lukis. The frogs are found only on two islands in New Zealand's South Island. "Maud Island frogs have never been found breeding' before, even on their home island.
