The San Antonio Zoo is an active participant in the Puerto Rican Crested Toad Species Survival Plan (SSP). We not only maintain and breed the species, but we also supply tadpoles for release in Puerto Rico and send staff to participate in field work. Over the past year, we have sent over 2000 tadpoles to Puerto Rico for release. Reports from the SSP coordinator are that our efforts along with other participating institutions is paying off as we strive to save and repopulate the species in their native home. Attached photos are from last nights release. Tadpoles left San Antonio via air early Thursday morning, May 8th and were released that evening.
