Scientists have described three amazing species of tree toad. These are unusual because when reproducing, they skip the tadpole stage, and female toads give birth to dozens of toadlets. Live birth, or skipping the egg-laying and larva stage, is extremely rare in amphibians.

@AmbiePam that fellow in the photo sure is adorable but in my loneliness I suppose it would not do to have toads leaping all over the place,
