Chances are, you’ve never seen our state amphibian in the wild.
In this episode, find out how the California red-legged frog became so rare while also delving into international border crossings with endangered frog eggs, urban drool, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, things that can fit into a bullfrog’s mouth, and the essential mindset shift that might just change the world.
Join me and Brad Hollingsworth from the San Diego Natural History Museum as we discuss all of this and so much more.
