Australian ground frogs take the standard weirdness of frog reproduction and development to the next level...and then to the next-next level. From swallowing eggs to putting tadpoles in pockets, these amphibians are doing their own thing.

Did you miss the Australian ground frog pin the first time around? We found a few extra! You can get them here: complexly.store/products/biza...

We are so excited to show you these frogs! If you'd like to learn more about Australian frogs and see how folks filmed the pouched frog, check out this video from the cool people over at Pobblebonks & Kundagungans:    • Ep 6 - Marsupial Frog.
