A frog that gives birth like a mammal! New research reveals a shocking twist

Scientists are studying Nectophrynoides frogs that give birth to live young. This unique reproductive method helps them survive in dry forests. These frogs develop internally, bypassing the vulnerable tadpole stage. However, this strategy limits offspring numbers, making populations slow to recover. Habitat changes pose a significant threat to their survival.
