Left front foot bones of Calif red-legged frog (Rana aurora draytonii). Once abundant throughout California,red-legged frogs were the inspiration for Mark Twains classic short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Now,after more than a century of habitat destruction,water pollution,suburban sprawl,and predation by non- native bullfrogs,they've been reduced to a number of scattered,unconnected populations.
