This toad gives birth in the strangest way on earth. Its babies come out of the skin. Its babies come out of the skin on its back. Meet the Surinam toad, one of the most bizarre amphibians on the planet. Flat as a fallen leaf, it lies perfectly camouflaged on the riverbed, completely invisible to its prey. With no teeth and no tongue, suction feeder, and sucking prey straight in. When it's time to breed, the male clicks a metallic sound, and the pair begin to somersault through the water together. As the eggs are released, carefully, carefully presses each one onto the female's back. Then, then something incredible happens. Her skin, skin grows over each egg, sealing them. Skin grows over each egg, sealing them inside. Inside her back, up to 100 babies begin to grow, each in its own tiny chamber, skipping the tadpole stage completely for three, for three to four long months. She carries them everywhere. A living, a living breathing nursery. Then fully, then fully formed and ready, the tiny toads burst out of their mother's and swim away into the world. Each, each tiny toad is a perfect.
