AI Summary:
33 endangered Darwin's frogs were born in their new home in Chile. Known populations have suffered a 90% decline within a year since a deadly disease known as chytrid fungus arrived in 2023. The species has affected hundreds of amphibian species around the world. Keepers said the zoo will set up a breeding program for them. Any frogs they breed may later be reintroduced into the wild.
