Surinam Toad Shows Remarkable Parental Nest Craft
A naturalist account describes the Surinam toad living in Guiana and Brazil. The female bears a peculiar skin change during breeding and lays eggs on her back. The male builds a barrel shaped nest and guards the eggs, with each egg pressed into a skin cell. Tadpoles develop inside the cells and emerge as four legged young. The male fights rivals with spines on his back to win mates and maintains parental care by aerating and guarding the brood.
