KEY POINTS:
There's a 1.8m tall frog hanging out at the Auckland Zoo with Stella Fish, 5, and brother Ethan, 9 - but there's no need for alarm.
Cadbury's Freddo Frog has been invited to the zoo to help celebrate National Frog Week, which started on Monday. The week is
a Department of Conservation initiative designed to raise public awareness of New Zealand's four remaining frog species - the Archey's frog, Hamilton's frog, Hochstetter's frog and the Maud Island frog - all of which are endangered.
Visitors will get the chance to discover more about the amphibians as part of the chocolate-makers' Freddo Frog roadshow. Freddo's Lily Pad has been set up inside the front entry. It will include activities such as listening to frog sounds and touching a post to experience what a frog's skin feels like.
