		<description><![CDATA[Most frogs lay eggs (frogspawn) in water that grow into tadpoles, froglets and then grown-up frogs. Now scientists have found a frog in the rainforests of Sulawesi Island, part of Indonesia, that gives birth to tadpoles! Two tadpoles, each about 10 millimeters long, shortly after birth. The newly described species Limnonectes larvaepartus is the only species of frog known to give birth to live tadpoles. Credit: Jim McGuire, UC Berkeley Jim McGuire, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley in the USA was in the rainforest and found a female frog giving birth to tadpoles. what he saw confirms what others had suspected but never seen happening. The frog, newly named Limnonectes larvaepartus (L. larvaepartus for short), was discovered a few decades ago by Indonesian researcher Djoko Iskandar, who works with Professor McGuire. Most male frogs fertilize eggs after the female lays them. About a dozen species have evolved ways to fertilize eggs inside the female&#8217;s body. Some of these deposit their fertilized eggs under rocks in streams but others give birth to froglets (miniature replicas of the adults). There are many other bizarre reproductive variations. Some frogs carry eggs in pouches on their back, brood tadpoles in their vocal [...]]]></description>
