i love!!!
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?
I would rather have trout than frogs.
Survival of the froggiest!
Did the frogs develop a natural immunity to the fungus?
Wonderful ❤️
Great footage and music too!
Great footage of a very special species. Nice job!
Awesome story! Well told and filmed!
I saw one of your videos doing my school and so I decided to try and find this channel! Found you! 🙂
Edit:not that it matters :I
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!😊
