Toughie (frog)
Toughie was the last known living Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog. The species, scientifically known as ''Ecnomiohyla rabborum'', is thought to be extinct, as the last specimen—Toughie—died in captivity on September 26, 2016. Captivity Toughie was captured as an adult in Panama in 2005, when researchers went on a conservation mission to rescue species from '' Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'', a fungus deadly to amphibians. Toughie was one of "several dozen" frogs and tadpoles of the same species to be transported back to the United States. Toughie lived at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Georgia. At the Garden, he was placed in a special containment area called the "frogPOD", a biosecure enclosure.

Being boisterous, adventurous and imaginative, they are regularly in trouble and consequently resent their situation. Eventually they decide to run away to sea.

After a while they discover that the island is home to the eccentric grasshop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
