The female frog lays eggs on the stems of plants in shallow water. The eggs stick together in groups of 8 to 143. The tadpoles take about two months to become frogs. [6] This frog's predators include water snakes, foxes, birds, raccoons, and such arthropods as crayfish and spiders. [6]
The "tail" is only possessed by the male and is an extension of the cloaca and used to inseminate the female. This frog lives in fast-flowing streams and internal fertilisation prevents the sperm from being washed away before fertilisation occurs. [90] The sperm may be retained in storage tubes attached to the oviduct until the following spring ...
Female H. fleischmannis stop moving around vegetation close to calling male frogs. The female will then gently push on the male from the side and crawl under them, after that the male frog will clasp the female frog. That is the process of amplexus. Female H. fleischmanni prefer to lay their eggs on overhanging leaves by the river.
Explosive Breeding Behavior. Some frog and toad species are explosive breeders. This means they have short reproductive periods, requiring them to gather in large numbers to mate.

Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes , anteriorly-attached tongue , limbs folded underneath, and no tail (the tail of tailed frogs is an extension of the male cloaca).
Female frogs and toads usually spawn gelatinous egg masses containing thousands of eggs in water. Different species lay eggs in distinctive and identifiable ways. For example, the American toad lays long strings of eggs. The eggs are highly vulnerable to predation, so frogs have evolved many techniques to ensure the survival of the next ...
In captivity, C. cranwelli and C. ornata are the most popular species, [4] along with the "fantasy frog", a captive-produced hybrid between C. cranwelli and C. cornuta. These frogs can live in a terrarium with a floor area 8-10 times the size of the frog. [4] They commonly cover themselves with substrate or just sit contentedly in the water.
