]]>Bolivia’s Alcide d’Orbigny Natural History Museum has teamed up with Global Wildlife Conservation in order to raise funds to help save the Sehuencas water frogs from extinction. After a long and exhausting expedition to the Bolivian cloud forest, the team was successful in finding Romeo a mate.
“When I pulled it out, I saw an orange belly and suddenly realized that what I had in my hands was the long-awaited Sehuencas Water Frog. My first reaction was to yell “I found one!” and the team came running over to help me and pull the frog to safety,” Zoologist Teresa Camacho said according to Bored Panda.
But it turned out that that frog was male, but she knew that there also had to be some females nearby, and she was right. The next day, the team went back to the same place and found two male and two female Sehuencas Water Frogs. According to the scientists, one of the frogs (they named her Juliet) is at the perfect age for reproduction. But at the moment, she’s quarantined until the scientists are sure that she doesn’t have any dangerous chytrid fungus, which has been known to have killed their entire species.
