Blink and you’ll miss it. You’re witnessing the first time this rare gopher frog is returning to its natural environment. It was raised at the Edenton National Fish Hatchery as part of our Gopher Frog Head Start Program-where we raise gopher frogs in captivity and release them into the wild once they become froglets. After a moment of hesitation, this frog takes a leap and never looks back. It takes to the pond like a “fish to water.” 😁 Welcome home, little gopher froglet. 🎥:USFWS | USFWS Sout

The Carolina gopher frog was once found in many ponds across the southeastern Coastal Plain, ranging from North Carolina through South Carolina and Georgia, across Florida and into Alabama. However, many of these wetlands, or the uplands they are associated with, are now gone. Historically found in at least 23 populations in North Carolina among 53 ephemeral ponds, the species is now only found in seven populations, with only 14 of those historical ponds still being used by gopher frogs.

The critically endangered dusky gopher frog population has grown by 622! Produced using in-vitro fertilization, the froglets were released earlier this month into restored habitat in Mississippi with the help of the Memphis Zoo, Detroit Zoo, Dallas Zoo and Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. This is the fourth and most successful release for the species to date, which is part of a large-scale effort to establish a new self-sustaining population of dusky gopher frogs.

460! That’s the number of young gopher frogs we released, alongside our partners, last spring as part of our headstarting program. Of the twelve historic breeding ponds for gopher frogs in our Francis Marion PARCA (Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Area), South Carolina, only three still contain these frogs, and we’re working to increase their populations by headstarting. Every year, starting in the late winter and into the spring, we comb the wetlands looking for egg masses. When we f
