Golden Mantella Frogs: Conservation and Behavior

The video discusses the critically endangered golden mantella frogs in Madagascar, highlighting their habitat destruction and challenges in breeding them in zoos. The zoo attempts to boost breeding success by voice coaching male frogs to sing and attract females. After training, the frogs are reintroduced, leading to successful breeding and the emergence of tadpoles, ensuring the species' survival in captivity.

What is the primary reason for the golden mantella frogs' endangered status?

• Destruction of habitat and pollution

• Overhunting for food

• Climate change

• Lack of food resources

Why is the singing of male frogs crucial in the breeding process?

• It helps them find food

• It scares away predators

• It marks their territory

• It attracts female frogs for mating

What method is the zoo using to help male frogs regain their singing abilities?

• Providing a special diet

• Voice coaching and playing recorded calls

• Increasing their habitat space

• Introducing new female frogs

How many male frogs were selected for the voice coaching program?

• Three

• Four

• Five

• Six

What is the expected outcome of reintroducing the trained male frogs to the group?

• To decrease the population

• To help them find new habitats

• To increase competition among males

• To make the frogs more colorful

What indicates the success of the zoo's breeding efforts?

• The frogs have become more colorful

• The frogs have started singing louder

• The frogs have grown larger

• The eggs have evolved into tadpoles
