Do mother frogs care for their young?
|
Most baby frogs grow up without any help from their parents. The mother frog deserts her eggs, or frogspawn, as soon as she has laid them. Some types of frog are more caring. A mother marsupial frog carries her young around in a pouch on her back until they have grown from tadpoles into froglets. The young of the mouth-brooding frog spend their early life in a very strange nursery - the mouth and vocal sacs of their father | | This mother frog is carrying her babies, or tadpoles, in a pouch on her back. |
