CommentsPrevious zoo owner released six adults in 2002. By 2007, numerous tadpoles were observed, sub adults were captured, and an adult male was heard calling, all of which indicate that a population was established in these ponds. However, we have no records since 2007 to indicate whether or not this population persisted.
