KIMBERLY TERRELL, Director of Research and Conservation

n a tiny corner room, far from the eyes of Zoo visitors, sits a small plastic dish with a gelatinous pile of frog eggs. Scientists scurry around the room, making notes, labeling test tubes, and squinting through microscopes. From Itime to time, they carefully peer into the dish, taking great care not to disturb the small, sticky batch of eggs. These scientists know that from such humble beginnings, a group of frogs will emerge that just might change the fate of their species. The scientists are from the Memphis Zoo, and the eggs are those of the Mississippi gopher frog – one of the most endangered animals on the planet. For millions of years, these spotted, bug-eyed frogs hopped along the sandy pine forests of modern-day Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. They snuck into animal burrows to escape the many predators that roamed the forest. Each spring, they emerged and found their way back to their home pond, guided by some mysterious sense. After a frenzied bout of breeding, the frogs quietly returned to their burrows, their life’s purpose fulfilled. This cycle continued for hundreds of thousands of generations, until suddenly, the forests started disappearing. Like many other species native to the southeastern United States, Mississippi gopher frogs have lost almost all their habitat. More than 98% of longleaf pine forests were cut down as human populations grew, nearly wiping out red-cockaded woodpeckers, gopher tortoises and the elusive eastern puma. By the beginning of the 21st century, Mississippi gopher frogs were nearly extinct. Just one small group of frogs survived at a single pond in Harrison County, along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

2 MEMPHISZOO.ORG Everything changed in 2001, when the species was declared Endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Teams of biologists mobilized to replant the forests, create new breeding ponds, and move frog eggs to protected tanks where they’d be safe from predators. Three hundred miles north, in Memphis, a Zoo curator hatched a plan to help save the species. Dr. Steve Reichling, Curator of Amphibians and Species Survival Coordinator for the Mississippi gopher frog, brought a few sticky clumps of Mississippi gopher frog eggs to Memphis Zoo. Here, they would be safe from hurricanes, droughts, or any other disaster that could strike the wild population. Since that day, a half dozen zoos have joined the program and the captive population has grown to nearly a thousand frogs. But in Harrison County, only about 100 frogs remain in the wild. BEHIND THE For the zoos, making baby frogs was no easy feat. Whatever secret signals motivate RED DOORS the frogs to start breeding in nature, they don’t exist in a zoo. So, Reichling teamed up with the Zoo’s scientists to find a way around this challenge. The scientists found that after administering a few doses of reproductive hormones, they could collect An Inside Look into sperm and eggs from the frogs. Put them together in a plastic dish, wait about a week, Wildlife Conservation and voila, you have teeny tadpoles. After more than a decade, the Zoo’s efforts are about to pay off. Earlier this year, and Research the USFWS announced they had found a new pond that could provide a safe habitat at the Memphis Zoo for the Mississippi gopher frog. All they needed were a few hundred frogs to release BY DR. KIMBERLY TERRELL, into the pond. And they knew just who to call – the Memphis Zoo. Director of Research and Conservation Reichling sprang into action. He sent two of his most experienced keepers to work Around the corner from the Zoo’s giant pandas, with the zoo’s scientists and produce tadpoles for release into the wild. The team stands an imposing pair of gold-studded, red traveled to Henry Doorly Zoo, in Omaha, Nebraska, home to the largest group of metal doors. They are almost always closed.

Efforts are underway at the Detroit visitors stop to catch a glimpse of the other side Zoo to produce additional tadpoles for the cause. and are disappointed to see only a gravel service road. They have no idea that just a bit further Many uncertainties lie ahead. How many frogs will survive at the new pond? Will down the road is something more extraordinary – their froggy instincts kick in next spring, when it’s time to breed? it’s mysterious, meticulous, and methodical … “We don’t yet know the answers to these questions, but we’re thrilled to take on it’s SCIENCE! To be more precise, it’s a wildlife research laboratory. This research lab was built the challenge,” said Reichling. “This is the culmination of more than a decade of behind the panda exhibit because it was originally hard work by Zoo keepers and scientists, Fish and Wildlife Service biologists, and established to study giant pandas – a requirement academic researchers.” of our panda loan agreement with China. But over the last decade, Memphis Zoo’s wildlife research “This is why zoos exist – to provide safe haven for animals facing extinction,” said lab has expanded its focus to include all sorts of Dr. Kim Terrell, Director of Research and Conservation. “We look out for all sorts of creatures from all regions of the planet. species, from the giant pandas roaming the mountains of China to the little bug-eyed The goal of our research is simple – to help endangered animals thrive in zoos and in nature. frogs hopping through the forests of Mississippi.

The bigger the group To donate to our Conservation department, call 901.333.6553 of animals you study, the more reliable your data will be. For example, we’re studying snow leopards and giant pandas from several different zoos, including our own, to help develop more accurate pregnancy tests for these animals. Conversely, our female polar bear’s poop is being analyzed by Cincinnati Zoo to help determine whether she ovulated during this past breeding season. By working collaboratively, zoos can get a better sense of what’s “normal” for rare or endangered species. It turns out that female polar bears produce high levels of testosterone (considered a male hormone) as they go into “heat.” Who knew? Our research doesn’t end on grounds. We also study animals in the wild, to help ensure that they will be there for future generations. Every so often, we even find ourselves working as the interface of zoos and nature, as highlighted in this month’s issue of Exzooberance. Stay tuned to future issues, as we take you behind the red doors to explore the many other conservation and research projects at Memphis Zoo.

4 MEMPHISZOO.ORG EXZOOBERANCE 5 CREATURE FEATURE CUTE ALERT: BABY SLOTH WINS ♥s Learn more about Baby Lua and our other Linné’s sloths.

by LAURA DOTY, Marketing and Communications Manager

“Lua” means moon in Portugese. It’s also the name of our newest Memphis Zoo addition – a Linné’s two- toed sloth. Lua (loo-ah) is the perfect name for our bouncing baby girl, as sloths are nocturnal animals found throughout Central and South America. Lua was born to parents “Marilyn” and “Sparky,” but is being hand-reared by Memphis Zoo animal care staff as a precaution, since Marilyn’s previous infants did not survive infancy. Memphis Zoo staff will provide continual updates about baby Lua as she grows. “We’re excited to share Lua’s milestones with our guests,” said Matt Thompson, Director of Animal Programs. “Everyone loves sloths, and we’re looking forward to this opportunity to educate Memphis Zoo fans about this fascinating species.” There are two types of two-toed sloths – Linné, also known as Linnaeus, or southern sloths, and Hoffman’s, or northern sloths. There are also four three-toed sloth species. While their three-toed cousins are mainly diurnal (meaning they are active during the daylight, and sleep at night), both two-toed sloth species are nocturnal. Often called the “slowest animals on Earth,” sloths don’t do anything fast. This is for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons has to do with their body temperature. They have the lowest body temperature of any mammal, and it’s also the most variable, meaning it can shift considerably throughout the day. A human’s normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. A sloth’s body temperature ranges dramatically, from 74 to 92 degrees. Sloths are also slow due to their mode of transportation – sloths spend most of their lives upside down. They’re mainly arboreal – meaning tree-dwelling – and use their thick, three to four inch claws to help them maneuver in the tree branches. Because they spend so much time hanging upside down in trees, they have developed a few unusual adaptations. While all other mammals have hair that grows down from their head, sloths have hair that grows up from their bellies. This allows rainfall to flow down, away from the sloth’s face when climbing through the rainforest.

6 MEMPHISZOO.ORG All sloths have – you guessed it – slow metabolisms. They’re ruminants, much like cows or sheep, and have a four chambered stomach. Some food can take as long as a month to be digested, making for unusual bathroom habits. Since they’re exceptionally slow on the ground, which can put them in precarious positions when it comes to predators, sloths only descend about once a week to urinate and defecate. “Feces is one of the most informative ways of monitoring Lua’s health,” said Steve Reichling, Curator of Nocturnal Animals. “By its appearance, weight and frequency, we will know a great deal about how well Lua is progressing.” Lua will be hand-reared behind-the-scenes for several months, but Zoo visitors are able to get up-to-date information on her, including videos and photos, on the Zoo’s webpage.
