Zookeeper Kelly at he Rio Grande Zoo....
At least half of the world's approximately 6,000 amphibian species are threatened with extinction.165 species are believed already to be extinct. 500 more species are threatened to the point that they will not be able to recover on their own in the wild-- outside help from the zoological facilities will be required to save them fro extinction. Zoo keeper Kelly is doing her part by putting the baby toad into a secluded area at the zoo. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums has declared 2008 the " Year of the Frog" .
Way to go Kelly!!!
