Meet the Titicaca water frog—the world’s largest fully aquatic frog and a resident of Tropical Discovery here at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance. These Endangered amphibians breathe through their loose, baggy skin and are a vital part of their high-altitude lake ecosystem.

We`re proud to work alongside our partners in Peru to protect water frogs and their alpine habitats through research, conservation breeding, and community-led action.
