Marsupial Frog 2
This otherwise ordinary tree frog became extraordinary in 1957 when
it was discovered that the female holds the spawn, until they hatch into froglets, in a skin pouch on
her back. Using her hind limbs she opens the tight fold of skin enclosing her young and assists their
exit into the world.
