ScienceLovers- Surprising, Childbirth Sulawesi Fanged Frog Tadpole - For the first time a fanged frog tadpoles spawned Sulawesi visible, and this is a new thing in the field of science. Frogs are generally breed by laying eggs. The fanged frog species living in Sulawesi and zoologists have been hunting him for decades because of this unique behavior.

Frogs are generally breed by laying eggs. The fanged frog species living in Sulawesi and zoologists have been hunting him for decades because of this unique behavior.
For the first time an international team outlines these findings in a study published in the journal Plos One.
Initially Dr. Jim McGuire of University of California, Berkeley thinks he holds the male frog tadpoles when witnessing the birth of it. But it turns out it is the male frogs are pregnant and suddenly McGuire clutching newborn tadpoles.
Mechanism Mystery
Almost all of the 6,000 species of frog in the world make the process of external fertilization, frogs during mating the female will lay eggs, while the male frog sperm to fertilize it.
"But a lot of strange modifications in standard frog marriage," said Dr. McGuire.
"This new type of frog is just a part of 10 or 12 species that reproduce by internal fertilization. They are the only species of frog tadpoles that gave birth."
How male frogs that successfully fertilize an egg yanga in male frogs remain a mystery. Because the frog does not have a conventional sexual organs for transferring sperm.
