Wow - interbreeding !

< "University of Manchester scientists have allowed two critically endangered species of Central American Leaf frogs to interbreed, producing the unique frog -- a hybrid of the two species. DNA tests using a harmless mouth swab showed that the two parent frogs were actually very closely related despite being different species."

"The unique Leaf frog, which is maintained at the Manchester Museum, was bred from the two species Agalychnis annae, from Costa Rica and Panama, and Agalychnis moreletii," >

Has anyone read any other research material / information regarding this project?

I believe we had posts about that and some commentary back when it was news.

Oh! It is from March, before I joined the forum.
I wonder if there is any more current information.
I will have to poke around.
