Endangered Cape Platannas Discovered in Green Corridor Near Agulhas

What might look like a tray of chocolate frogs is actually a pair of Endangered Cape Platannas! These fascinating amphibians are smaller and more pointed than their cousin, the Common Platanna. They inhabit fynbos wetlands from the Cape Peninsula to Cape Agulhas.
