Birch Aquarium's newest exhibit lets you get up close to endangered frogs that live in California's mountains.

Zoom in: Imagine Wild: Mountain Yellow-legged Frog opened last week, where visitors can explore their habitat and learn about conservation efforts to save the species.

Fun fact: Birch Aquarium and the zoo have bred, raised and reintroduced hundreds of these frogs into the wild over the years.
