The Surinam toad (Pipa pipa)

witness one of the weirdest wonders in the animal kingdom! The Surinam toad (Pipa pipa) doesn’t lay eggs in the water like most frogs—it grows its babies right under the skin of its back. In this jaw-dropping video, you’ll see how these tiny toadlets burst out fully formed, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Learn about their bizarre mating "dance," how the eggs become embedded in mom’s back, and why evolution might have taken this strange turn. It’s gross, fascinating, and 100% real nature.
