Giant Burrowing Frog
Although we know that populations of the Giant Burrowing Frog are in decline, this elusive digger is one of Victoria’s most poorly understood species.
The plan for fighting extinction
Over the next five years, Zoos Victoria will carry out important on-the-ground surveys to discover more about the Giant Burrowing Frog and its remote habitat. In the meantime, we are securing the wellbeing of the individual frogs in our care.
