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.

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

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.
