The midwife toad, a remarkable amphibian, is renowned for its unique reproductive behavior.

During breeding season, the male midwife toad carries the eggs in its vocal sac until they hatch.

Female midwife toads lay their eggs in strings, which the males then collect and place in their vocal sacs.
