The mountain yellow-legged frog is the most endangered amphibian in the United States. The species is listed in the US Endangered Species Act.

Footage filmed on August 10 shows San Diego Zoo's attempt to reintroduce this species in California.

According to scientists, this frog could be extinct within decades. The main threat to this animal is the introduction of nonnative trout to alpine lakes which prey upon tadpoles and young frogs.

Jeff Lemm, Research Coordinator at San Diego Zoo Institute says: "There's roughly 150 left in the wild down here in Southern California".
