Maud Island frogs are estimated to number up to 40,000 — most of them on the island from which they take their name and the rest on Motuara Island.

Don Newman, who is the threatened species science manager with the Conservation Department and was not involved in the frog program, said the breeding success adds a third location where the frogs have bred, a factor that "spreads the risk" and improves the species' chance of survival.

Maud Island frogs, one of four native New Zealand frogs, have evolved little over the last 70 million years, Lukis said, resulting in distinctive features and behaviors.

They do not croak, live in water or have webbed feet, she said.

Also unlike other frogs, these hatch from the egg as fully formed frogs without going through the tadpole stage.

It wasn't a lame copycat. I thought for a minute you really were starting a new series of threads about frogs. :cry:
