  1. I would love to see a video on how these frogs survive winter in the high sierras. Do they freeze and thaw, do they bury themselves and hibernate?

  2. We have a yellow legged frogs recovery system up here in Idyllwild. Several hundreds have been released in the past 2 years to re-populate the ecosystems. It's pretty wonderful. Thank you San Diego for helping!😊
