Endangered Mississippi gopher frogs benefit from milder weather
The Mississippi gopher frog, one of the nation’s most endangered species, saw a rare breeding floor this year as Glen’s Pond held water longer. About 181 tadpoles survived a parasite and headed to DeSoto National Forest, with tank-raised frogs contributing significantly to the population. Biologists, zoos, and The Nature Conservancy continue captive and field efforts amid habitat loss and drought pressures.
