LA PAZ, Bolivia - The fate of a species may just rest on this love story.
Happily, the first date between Romeo, once the last-known Sehuencas water frog, and Juliet, who was discovered deep inside a Bolivian cloud forest in January, went so well the two have been living together in the male's aquarium since.
According to a statement by Global Wildlife Conservation, or GWC, on Monday, the pair were introduced on March 1 after being cleared of chytridiomycosis, which has decimated amphibian populations throughout the neotropics region.
