中文注释:巴布亚新几内亚,一只雄岳蛙在尽父亲的责任--守护自己的卵团。这个卵团里有两只刚刚孵化的幼蛙,其余的还在卵团里沉睡。作为狭口蛙的一种,它们不经历蝌蚪阶段,其幼体在卵内就完全发育成形。成年雄蛙就这样每天抱着卵团,以此保持卵的湿润并免遭天敌的侵袭,昆虫是他们的天敌之一。 作者: George Grall
幼蛙 巴布亚新几内亚 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Just-Hatched Froglets, Papua New Guinea, 2001 Carrying out his fatherly duty, a male Oreophryne frog in Papua, New Guinea, guards his clutch and two newly hatched froglets that rest atop the egg mass. Like many of the Microhylidae family, these frogs bypass the tadpole stage, developing fully within the egg. Male frogs embrace their clutch each night to keep the eggs moist and protect them from predators such as insects.
