@.extremenature: The Toad That Gives Birth Through Its Own Skin... 100 at a Time (Surinam Toad) It doesn't lay eggs. It seals them into its own back. During mating, fertilised eggs are pressed into the female's skin. Her body grows over each one... forming individual vascularised pockets across her entire dorsal surface. Each pocket is an independent incubation chamber with its own blood supply. No external tadpole stage. Full development — inside her skin. After three months, up to 100 juveniles break through the sealed surface, fully formed, and swim away. Every other toad lays eggs in water and hopes. This one delivers them through her own skin. Did you know some amphibians complete their entire development sealed inside their mother's back?
