toad

Once thought to be extinct, the Wyoming toad is making a comeback. Thanks, in part, to drastic conservation efforts. The wild population hasn't bounced back yet, but it's headed in the right direction.

The state is making efforts to boost the population of the endangered Wyoming Toad as the Wyoming Game & Fish Department released 700 of the toads at multiple sites near Laramie.

The extremely rare Wyoming toad was once considered totally extinct.
