An Amazing Australian Frog

The rare Australian aquatic frog has an extraordinary method of rearing its young: after fertilizing her eggs, the female swallows them, and they develop inside her stomach without being digested. The young frogs secrete chemicals that prevent the production of stomach acid, turning the mother’s stomach into a safe nursery.
