AmphiPod

The Zoo has exciting new plans to open an amphibian sanctuary within its grounds to breed two frog species on the verge of extinction.

The facility will provide a safe, bio-secure home for some of the world’s most endangered frog species - lemur leaf frogs and golden mantella frogs.

Called the ‘AmphiPod’, the facility will provide the perfect conditions to allow the rare frogs to breed, in an effort to help save the species from extinction.
