Endangered frogs, usually found in the forests of South East Asia, have been successfully bred in captivity.Only five other zoos in Europe keep the species - and just one has managed to breed them in the past 12 months, according to the park's reptile keepers.Their calls come in the form of small "unpulsated peeps", according to the wildlife park.
In 2019, Cotswold Wildlife Park became the second zoological collection in Europe to breed the species. Inspired by their intense orange colouring, the froglets have been named after suitably coloured spices: Paprika, Cayenne, Saffron, Chipotle and Chilli.
