What is a "Surinam toad"?
A Surinam toad, also known as the pipa toad, is a unique amphibian found in South America. It has a distinctive appearance with a flat body and rough, bumpy skin. One of its most remarkable features is its reproductive behavior, where the female lays eggs and embeds them into the skin on her back. The eggs then develop into fully formed toadlets before emerging from the female's back. The Surinam toad is a fascinating and unusual species that has adapted to its environment in a truly remarkable way.
