Baw Baw frog


The Baw Baw frog ("Philoria frosti") is a critically endangered species of Australian frog as categorised on the IUCN Red List and listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988). It has suffered a decline in population, mostly due to infection caused by chytrid fungus. Zoos Victoria have undertaken a breeding program to ensure survival of the species which commenced in 2010, and in October 2018 has successfully collected the first eggs laid in captivity. The species was described as "Philoria frosti" by Walter Baldwin Spencer

If accurate, this measurement would make it the tallest tree ever measured by an accredited source. Mount Baw Baw is home to the critically endangered Baw Baw frog. The mountain summit receives more annual precipitation than most places in mainland Australia and frequent snow in winter. Frequent heavy cloud cover means temperatures rarely drop well below freezing and the mountain is often shrouded in

When the program was started in 2010 almost nothing was known about managing the frogs in captivity. An artificial environment was created in a shipping container named ""the Baw Baw Bunker"" and the first eggs were collected from the wild in 2011 but were unviable. In 2013, 96 metamorphs were raised from collected eggs. Eleven females were captured from the wild in 2016 for the first time, and on the 22nd of October 2018

Metamorphlings have different colouration to the adults. Population estimates have reduced from 15,000–10,000 breeding males in 1983 to around 750, or according to Frogs Victoria less than 250 individuals. The cause of this reduction is most likely due to chytridiomycosis caused by chytrid fungus, which can cause swift declines in an amphibian populations living in a pristine environment with no other explanation.
