Show Frogs Hide Their Eggs. In the manner of disposing of their ggs many species of frog exhibit remarkable re-markable peculiarities. One of the most curious, a tree frog, native of Paraguay, makes Its nest In a bush overhanging a pond. The lower ends of a number of leaves are drawn together to-gether and fixed in that position by a number of empty egg capsules. The eggs are also covered with a shield of empty capsules to protect them from the sun and air. When the eggs are hatched the plug at the bottem appears to fall out and the tadpoles tumble into the water. |
