There's a 1.8m tall frog hanging out at the Auckland Zoo with Stella Fish, 5, and brother Ethan, 9 - but there's no need for alarm.
Cadbury's Freddo Frog has been invited to the zoo to help celebrate National Frog Week, which started on Monday. The week isa Department of Conservation initiative designed to raise public awareness of New Zealand's four remaining frog species - the Archey's frog, Hamilton's frog, Hochstetter's frog and the Maud Island frog - all of which are endangered.
Visitors will get the chance to discover more about the amphibians as part of the chocolate-makers' Freddo Frog roadshow. Freddo's Lily Pad has been set up inside the front entry. It will include activities such as listening to frog sounds and touching a post to experience what a frog's skin feels like.
