A crew from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is in Panama, teaming with the Smithsonian and other organizations to save amphibians from possible extinction as they battle a fungus.

The five-person expedition team includes Kevin and Jaime Kratt, Dr. Della Garelle, Bob Chastain and Dr. Mark Kombert. They go out into the rainforest at night to collect frogs, then try to nap during the day.
