Australian sauna helps save frogs from flesh-eating fungus

This picture taken on August 13, 2024 shows Macquarie University biologist Anthony Waddle holding a green and golden bell frog, an endangered specie, at the research center of Macquarie University in Sydney. Hundreds of endangered Green and Golden Bell frogs huddle inside a sauna, protected from Sydney's winter chill. The sauna -– a small greenhouse containing black-painted bricks -- may offer a pleasant warmth, but it is also protecting the frogs from the deadly chytrid fungus that would otherwise drive them to extinction.
