Daegu Mangwolji Tadpoles Begin Large-Scale Migration to Uksusan Habitat

Spawning in Sanseo from February to March

Returns after growing 2 cm in body length

Daegu Suseong-gu (District Mayor Kim Dae-kwon) announced that the baby toads born in Mangwolji, Uksu-dong, a large-scale toad spawning site, have begun their mass migration toward their habitat in the Uksusan area.

The baby toads, which started moving from 11 PM on the 11th, are expected to migrate over a period of about fifteen days, mainly on humid days.

The young toads of Mangwolji in Suseong-gu, Daegu City have begun a large-scale migration to their habitat, Uksusan.

Every year around February to March, about 1,000 adult toads descend from Uksusan to Mangwolji in Daegu Suseong-gu, where each female lays about 10,000 eggs.

The tadpoles hatched from the eggs grow into baby toads about 2 cm in length in Mangwolji, and around mid-May, tens of thousands of them return in groups to their habitat in the Uksusan area.

Daegu Suseong-gu is doing its best to protect the baby toads by implementing various measures such as controlling vehicle access along the migration route, installing roadkill prevention fences, and conducting monitoring and rescue activities.
