  1. Reproduction

    Male frogs go through an elaborate ritual to attract a mate. The males vocalize, a loud trill sound, to attract females. Once the courtship ritual is complete, the females deposit dozens of eggs on leaves. The eggs are encased in a gelatinous substance for protection against decay.

    During the two-week development period, the male returns to the eggs periodically to check on them. Once the tadpoles hatch, they swim onto the male’s back and are attached by a mucus secretion, which keeps them from falling off. The male carries them to a place suitable for further development, such as wet holes in broken trees and branches, little ponds, wet coconut shells, and even in tin cans and car tires. Tiny pools of water that collect in bromeliads are also used by some species.

    Once at their final destination, the tadpoles are on their own. They need an additional three months to metamorphose into small frogs.


  2. sexual..  the male mounts the female and while she's releasing eggs, he's releasing sperm, ferilizing the eggs as they come out
