London Zoo has recorded the first birth of Afia Birago’s puddle frogs, a tiny and rare species recently identified in a single forest in Ghana.
The frogs are known as Afia Birago’s puddle frogs. Their identification as a species is recent, and their known origin is limited to one Ghanaian forest.
The birth at the London zoo marks the first time the species has been born there. The available information does not give the number of frogs born or provide further details about the timing or circumstances of the event.
The development brings attention to a little-known amphibian whose recorded range is confined to a single forest in Ghana. No further information has been provided about the frogs’ future care or any planned conservation measures.
