We’re hopping into a new chapter for the endangered Dusky Gopher Frog!

Working alongside the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wildlife Mississippi, and private landowner Jim Currie, Memphis Zoo released 498 frogs into a restored habitat today. This release marks the beginning of reintroduction efforts at the site and aims to establish a second self-sustaining wild population in Mississippi.

Today we’re celebrating World Bongo Day with our trio: Birch, Frankie, and Marvin! 🧡 You can always spot these playful fellas sparring, hanging out with the hogs, or absolutely chillin’ in the Veldt.

They are great ambassadors for their species, and every visit to Memphis Zoo helps support their conservation. Bongos are listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss, hunting, and population fragmentation.
