Programme may help to ensure the survival of the critically endangered variable harlequin toad
One of the world’s rarest toads has been bred in captivity for the first time, thanks to the scientists at Manchester Museum.
The critically endangered variable harlequin toad, Atelopus varius, is a type of frog that lives deep in the central American rainforests of Panama and Costa Rica, breeding only in turbulent streams filled with stones and boulders on which they lay their eggs.
