Prepare to be amazed by the Surinam toad (Pipa pipa), an amphibian with one of the most unique reproductive methods in the animal kingdom. Found in South America’s rainforests, the female embeds her fertilized eggs into pockets on her back. As the embryos develop, they create small openings, turning her back into a living nursery where the young emerge fully formed. This remarkable adaptation is one of nature’s most fascinating evolutionary feats.
