What is a "pipa"?

A pipa, also known as a Surinam toad, is a unique amphibian belonging to the family Pipidae. It has a flattened body and a distinctive appearance characterized by its rough, bumpy skin. The pipa is primarily found in freshwater habitats of South America, particularly in the Amazon basin and surrounding regions. One of the most remarkable features of the pipa is its reproductive behavior. The female carries the eggs on her back, which embed into her skin and form small pockets where the tadpoles develop. Once fully developed, the young toads emerge from the pockets as fully formed toadlets. The pipa is a fascinating species known for its intriguing reproductive strategy and unusual appearance.
