Adorable Amphibian Marks Huge Milestone at Nashville Zoo

Zoos are very exciting places to visit and can be extremely rewarding workplaces. Those who love animals can get up close and personal with many different species on a daily basis. Many zoos help to preserve species by carefully breeding animals and caring for the offspring. The Nashville Zoo shared very exciting news on social media about special tiny Glass Frogs that recently hatched there. “We’re excited to share that reticulated glass frogs have been successfully bred at Nashville Zoo for the first time! A clutch of eggs was discovered in their habitat and carefully moved to our Amphibian Room for incubation. After five months as tadpoles, the first froglets are beginning to emerge,” the zoo explained.

This adaptation helps them blend into leaves and branches to avoid predators. The froglets will continue developing behind the scenes, with some eventually joining the Unseen New World exhibit and others supporting future breeding efforts,” the Nashville Zoo added. “Hop into Unseen New World to congratulate the parents!” People had lots of questions. “Is five months typical for incubation? Or does it take longer in captivity? I’m curious because I raise tadpoles that would otherwise dry up. But they take longer than scientists suggest. And I’m also here to say these babies are adorable!” Someone commented. “Love this!!! Congrats!!!” Another person wrote. This fan made an excellent observation about the glass frogs. “The third pic looks like those sticky hand toys I used to throw at a window as a kid,” they wrote.
