Wyoming Toad
The Wyoming Toad has been a huge topic of conversation on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list (IUCN), which has the toad listed as “extinct in nature”. Today, the River Museum is working with several other institutions to reverse this species from becoming completely extinct. The Living Collections team itself has bred over 41,000 Wyoming Toads since the rehabilitation started. Some of the toad’s favorite foods include cockroaches, mealworms, night crawlers, and bean weevils. This species also gets 8,000 crickets a week to feed them. These toads typically live to about 10 years in the wild and can be found only in Albany Country, Wyoming.
