These amazing amphibians are one of my favourite frogs, their maternity is so unique and amazing, that kind of childcare hasn’t been witnesses before, it is a true treasure of the forest.
The process begins by the female frogs laying a patch of eggs on the ground on the forest floor, and then males wait until the eggs start to move and that male eats the eggs, but they do not swallow or digest them for they enter his vocal sack of which the eggs over time develop and hatch inside of the male frog.
The frog after a few days regurgitates the juvenile frog for it to grow up and repeat the process.
Amazingly after the birthing process Darwin frog’s vocal sack is ready for singing almost immediately after the frog has is spat out out the young.
