The two main shapes for the microhylids are wide bodies and narrow mouths and normal frog proportions. Those with narrow mouths generally eat termites and ants, and the others have diets typical of most frogs. Egg-laying habits are highly varied.
This frog's living and reproductive habits are not entirely clear, but it has been observed in dense grasses near temporary ponds and perched on vegetation .3 to 1.5 meters above those ponds. Scientists believe the female frog may lay eggs on these plants such that the tadpoles fall into the water, as other frogs in Polypedates do. [1]
There the male will lay on his back, with the female on top of him on her stomach. [18] During the amplexus, the female's back is gradually swelled to a puffy condition. The male and female cloacae are brought close together, and many eggs are transferred anteriorly to the female's swollen dorsal epidermis .
They lay eggs, those eggs hatch into tadpoles ... and you learned the rest in science class. However, a newly discovered species of frog has upped the ante. They skip the egg stage and just give ...
When it is time, the males migrate to the water. They then make a call at the same time. This lures the females to the water, where they mate. The females lay their eggs in clumps of 10–90, and usually put them on and under vegetation and leaf litter in the pond. Females usually lay their eggs in shallow, calm water that has little action ...
Myobatrachidae, commonly known as Australian ground frogs or Australian water frogs, is a family of frogs found in Australia and New Guinea. Members of this family vary greatly in size, from species less than 1.5 cm (0.59 in) long, to the second-largest frog in Australia, the giant barred frog ( Mixophyes iteratus ), at 12 cm (4.7 in) in length.
Frogs typically lay their eggs in the water. The eggs hatch into aquatic larvae called tadpoles that have tails and internal gills. They have highly specialised rasping mouth parts suitable for herbivorous, omnivorous or planktivorous diets. The life cycle is completed when they metamorphose into adults. A few species deposit eggs on land or ...
These frogs lay their eggs in aerial foam nests; upon hatching, tadpoles drop to the water under the nest and complete their development there. [3] [4] Some species like Rhacophorus kio will wrap this and cover this foam nest with leaves.
