In May of 2005 a new frog exhibit was created at the local zoo here in Madison, Wisconsin. It consists of three large display terrariums equipped with the latest innovations in terrarium design and construction. There is a wide variety of tropical plant species in each, with many beautiful ferns, bromeliads, and orchids growing epiphytically from the walls of the cages. Currently, the inhabitants of the terrariums are tropical frogs, and include green and black poison dart frogs (Dendrobates auratus), lovely poison dart frogs (Phyllobates lugubris), blue poison dart frogs (Dendrobates azureus), strawberry poison dart frogs (Dendrobates pumilio), common harlequin toads (Atelopus spumarius), marbled tree frogs (Hyla marmorata), and tiger leg tree frogs (Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis). The terrariums were created by Variance Design located in Maryland.
