Texas released 3 million captive-bred eggs to save this endangered amphibian. It may be working

A male Houston toad was sighted in Bastrop County, Texas, after a 50-year absence. This sighting follows the release of millions of captive-bred toad eggs this year. Conservationists have worked for over two decades to restore habitats and rebuild wild populations. The Houston toad requires specific sandy soils and temporary ponds for survival and breeding. This collaborative effort offers renewed hope for the critically endangered amphibian's future.
