As could be seen in this article recently the population of Leptodactylus fallax, otherwise known as the mountain chicken, has made a comeback. Due to the hunting and the poisoning of the species by the chytrid fungus which has decreased its native population by eighty percent. A couple dozen were taken and transferred to zoos in both Britain and USA where they have raised their population levels. Now some of the toads bred in habitat have been relocated back to try to reintroduce them to their natural habitat which has so far been hopeful.
