Animal Planet

Today, 07:10 – 07:55

A unique nature conservation project is in the hot phase: Nectophrynoides asperginis, the rare Kihansi toad, is to be released back into its ancestral ecosystem in Tanzania after being successfully reared in the Bronx Zoo. For the first time ever, an amphibian species that has become extinct in the wild is being returned to its original habitat – a milestone for international animal conservation that is taking zoo biologists deep into the African wilderness. Also in this episode: test giraffe Utu gets up close and personal with a new construction behind the scenes of the enclosure and a special flight tunnel is designed to prevent birds from colliding with window glass.
