What is a "midwife toad"?

A midwife toad is a fascinating amphibian known for its distinctive reproductive behavior. The males of this species take on the role of caring for the eggs, unlike most other frogs. After the female lays her eggs, the male attaches them to his hind legs using a sticky secretion. He then carries them around until they are ready to hatch, protecting them from predators and ensuring their survival. This unique parental care strategy has earned the midwife toad its intriguing name and makes it a remarkable species in the amphibian world.
