Their offspring, called pangopups, are very dependent on their mother and can be seen riding around on her tail when they are tired.

Frog rescue: Last hope for endangered amphibian
2016-06-23 01:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

In the culmination of a 20-year effort to save the species, a few breeding pairs have been genetically selected and moved into a shipping container that has been converted into a miniature, tropical haven. The hope is that the animals will breed and that offspring can be released to repopulate their native habitat.
