@gentle lemur I used to call them that but calling them "chickens" and not frogs just feels wrong

@ThylacineAlive That's why I call them Mountain Chicken Frogs.

@birdsandbats And why I call them Giant Ditch Frog Chickens

Incidentally I'm wondering if this is the first time I've actually seen a mountain chicken; I can never find them in exhibits, especially because zoos often put them into large walkthrough exhibits.

@FunkyGibbon I have seen them at Chester Zoo, Bristol Zoo, and now here. They're a lovely species.

You'd think that they might make an effort at naturalism here and keep them in a giant ditch, but it seems not.

@DavidBrown Or keeping them in chicken costumes on a mountain.
