The zoo recently sent more than 18,000 tadpoles in Puerto Rico.
The San Antonio Zoo sent more than 18,000 tadpoles of the critically endangered Puerto Rican crested toad to Puerto Rico last week where they were released back into their natural habitat.– The San Antonio Zoo sent more than 18,000 tadpoles of the critically endangered Puerto Rican crested toad to Puerto Rico last week where they were released back into their natural habitat.
“The first time San Antonio Zoo began contributing to the program as a breeding institution was 2010,” said Craig Pelke, director of ectotherms at San Antonio Zoo in a press release. “Since that time, there had been good success…any time you can place a critically endangered species back in the wild is good. However, we wanted ‘great.’”
The zoo individually identifies and tracks the Puerto Rican Crested Toads. The zoo’s toads are kept in isolation in a bio-secure room away from the general zoo population to prevent cross-contamination and illness. “A couple of years ago, we decided to revamp our entire operation across the board by improving housing, husbandry, and diet. In 2021 we ended up breaking previous records by over half, and this year we again broke our institutional record and ended up producing more tadpoles than all our other years combined,” Pelke said.
