I was half-right about the oryx, it was just a different outcome LOL (agree on the Kihansi spray toad ID)
And also one of them WAS a plant!! Lysimachia minoricensis seems the best match

Or is it just going to be posted within this thread randomly? Just curious if I need to bookmark this or there will be another place with that information

Plant conservation is definitely something most people don't think about (despite the Lorax doing his best), partially since some are actually very common despite their listed status because they make for popular ornamentals! Angel's trumpets in particular are EW, they just happened to take well to being grown ex situ.
