Crucifix Frog breeding success!

FROGS that look like tiny green hot cross buns have been bred in captivity for the first time thanks to a clever idea by Melbourne Zoo keeper Raelene, who played a UA-cam clip of a thunderstorm to get them in the mood.
Crucifix Frogs are a desert species that only breed in the wild after rainstorms, when they crawl up from their underground burrows to mate in puddles.

Such darlings! Who'd have thought thunder would put them in the mood? Great to have more of them!
