A wildlife park has successfully bred "rare" giant Mexican leaf frogs - for the first time in its history.
The Cotswold Wildlife Park has become the only zoological collection in the world to successfully breed the species in the last year.
The amazing feat saw keepers organise the highly special conditions in which the giant Mexican leaf frogs were able to breed.
A video shows the froglets testing out their newly developed legs as they walk on the keeper's hands.
The species originated in the sub-tropical area of Mexico and full-grown adults will get to only 10 centimetres long.
They are a nocturnal amphibian that usually eats insects.
In the wild, the breeding takes place near water sources such as ponds and swamps and once the spawn hatches they fall into the water.
