The Crapaud, or Mountain Chicken, is one of only four amphibians found in Dominica. Formerly a common sighting, the crapaud population has been in decline since 2002 due to the chytid fungal infection which has made them an endangered species.<\/p>\n

Where are those Big Frogs? Most Dominicans will say that it\u2019s been several years since they\u2019ve heard the distinctive mating call of the Crapaud, the local Creole name for \u2018Mountain Chicken\u2019 frog (Leptodactylus fallax).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

This critically endangered amphibian is a national symbol that appears on Dominica\u2019s Coat of Arms. It\u2019s also one of the largest frogs in the world.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Before 2002, this big frog was a popular local dish, and many savoured its chicken-like flavour. Crapaud cuisine was also sought-after by tourists, who were curious to experience its unique taste.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, within the past decade, it has succumbed to a fungal infection of global epidemic proportions called chytridiomycosis (chytrid).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Right now, there are very few surviving in the wild, as it sadly nears extinction on the Nature Island. The Crapaud is one of only four types of amphibians in Dominica. It is also found on Montserrat.<\/p>\n

At one time, it did thrive on other islands, but is now extinct. Over-hunting and destruction of habitat are reported to have adversely affected this frog\u2019s population elsewhere.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Fortunately, Dominica\u2019s \u2018Mountain Chicken\u2019 has been protected by law for many years. Before the chytrid fungus infestation, the limited hunting season was strictly enforced and there were penalties for catching Crapaud out-of-season.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Importance of Amphibians Scientists assert that \u2018Mountain Chickens\u2019 have an important function in Dominica\u2019s eco-system. \u201cAmphibians do more good than people realize,\u201d says Jenny Spencer, a British herpetologist (one who studies amphibians and reptiles). She is assisting Dominica\u2019s Forestry and Wildlife Division as a representative of the Zoological Society of London.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Mountain Chicken\u2019 frogs actually do humans a big favour,\u201d she asserts, \u201cThey eat many different kinds of invertebrates, such as cockroaches, millipedes, crickets and even small lizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Ms. Spencer, the chytrid fungus has obliterated various amphibians in other countries. \u201cSome other frogs are extinct because of it. It\u2019s a huge worldwide problem, but research is going on all the time,\u201d she discloses.<\/p>\n

Ongoing Research Since 2005, an ongoing international collaborative project with Dominica\u2019s Forestry and Wildlife Division continues to actively explore ways and means to protect the Crapaud from the relentless chytrid fungus infestation. One of the participants is the Zoological Society of London, where researchers are studying ways to reduce the impact of the disease on amphibians in the wild.<\/p>\n

In Dominica, this fungus is found everywhere in the environment and is also carried by tree frogs which do not appear to be harmed by it.<\/p>\n

In Montserrat, where chytrid also destroyed the \u201cMountain Chicken\u201d population, a recent release of some captive bred animals is underway to find out if this is a reasonable method for preventing the species\u2019 extinction in the wild.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Captive Breeding Facility in the Botanical Gardens near Roseau is nearing completion. It will either be stocked with some of the remaining wild \u2018Mountain Chickens\u2019 on Dominica before they are wiped out by chytrid, or with captive bred animals, whose parents were rescued and taken to Europe in the face of the epidemic.<\/p>\n

The Dominican Forestry and Wildlife Division staff is being trained to manage the frogs in captivity, including breeding techniques.<\/p>\n

At the present time, Forestry and Wildlife officials are also monitoring areas where the very few \u2018Mountain Chicken\u2019 frogs are still found.<\/p>\n

The establishment of a data- base which documents Crapaud calls and sightings is underway. In addition, bi-monthly surveys of the three species of tree frogs will aid in monitoring population trends. As well, they are being tested for the presence of the chytrid fungus.<\/p>\n
