Zoos in Australia and around the world, and the year's myths put right, sentence 8
The southern corroboree frog, yellow and black, almost disappeared because of chytrid fungus; zoos breed it in very clean rooms and release eggs and young frogs into the mountains, and it makes its own poison, unlike poison dart frogs, which get theirs from the ants they eat.
Who acts: southern corroboree frog, zoos, fungus, dart frogs · What happens: disappear, breed, release, make, get, eat · To what, where: fungus, mountains, own poison, zoos, ants
