The Edmonton Valley Zoo is croaking with excitement! It’s time for our annual endangered Northern Leopard Frog release - or, as we’re calling it this year - the beginning of FROG-MAGEDDON! 🐸 We have an unprecedented 1,500 tadpoles bugging us to be released back into their natural habitat in Kimberley, BC. Thanks to the efforts of our partners, volunteers, and our amazing zookeepers, we have more than five times the number of tadpoles bred for release compared to our efforts in 2023! We’re hoppi

Earlier this week, 2500 northern leopard frog tadpoles were released into a natural habitat near Cranbrook, BC! This is our second-most successful release for this endangered species. As part of the Northern Leopard Frog recovery team, we've worked with the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo and Edmonton Valley Zoo to breed, raise and release these tadpoles as part of a worldwide effort under the Amphibian Ark (AArk) project. | Vancouver Aquarium
