Thirty-six rare tadpoles were released into a wild steam today near Idyllwild, Calif. as part of a program aimed at giving the nearly-extinct, Southern California population of mountain yellow-legged frogs a chance of thriving in the wild again.

I am no expert or anything , but 36 tadpoles sure dosen't sound like enough.

OOOOOOOOOOH right near Tahquitz and Suicide! That way when they die or something, they can close those crags/peaks down, too!

Oh great!! There goes the market. I'm going to have to switch to San Gabriel Mountain Slender Salamanders.

San Gabriel Slenders taste surpisingly like condor meat. It just takes a bunch of them to make a good meal.

Plus, they don't ingest all those cigarette butts & gum wrappers like the Condors do.
