An "imperiled" salamander on the brink of extinction has been bred in captivity for the first time ever.

Atlanta-based conservation organization, the Amphibian Foundation, has been working to breed the frosted flatwood salamander for nearly a decade after co-founder, Mark Mandica, realized there was an urgent need to save the species.
