Get ready to climb way up into the high mountain lakes of Sequoia National Park!🏔️ Today, we meet an extreme animal: the mountain yellow-legged frog.🐸 This tiny creature can survive under the freezing ice for nine months out of the year.

But when two sneaky villains; a hungry non-native fish and a mysterious microscopic fungus threaten to wipe them out completely, a team of superhero scientists step in. Discover how national parks and local zoos teamed up for an epic rescue mission that involves special frog baths and an actual helicopter 🚁 !
