Amphibian Areas  Amphibian Conservation Area  Located on the
second level of the Elevator Building, a non public research
area, is the Amphibian Conservation Area at Omaha's Henry
Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. This area is designed to house and
breed amphibians threatened with extinction and is capable of
holding up to 3,000 individuals and 50 different species.
Individual, bio-secure isolation rooms are set up for each
species to prevent the spread of disease between species. Each
room at Omaha's Zoo and Aquarium has its own heating and cooling
unit and is completely sealed. Strict hygiene procedures are
practiced by the keepers to prevent contamination.   Omaha’s Zoo
and Aquarium has successfully produced and released Wyoming toad
tadpoles and Puerto Rican crested toad tadpoles into the wild.
In the future, offspring from additional species will be
released once threats have been lessened.
