Just-Hatched Froglets, Papua New Guinea, 2001
Photograph by George Grall
Carrying out his fatherly duty, a male Oreophryne frog in Papua, New Guinea, guards his clutch and two newly hatched froglets that rest atop the egg mass. Like many of the Microhylidae family, these frogs bypass the tadpole stage, developing fully within the egg. Male frogs embrace their clutch each night to keep the eggs moist and protect them from predators such as insects.

履行它的像父辈一样的职责,一只雄性oreophryne青蛙在巴布亚新几内亚,看守保护它的一窝和两只新孵出来的小蛙休息在卵块之上。 像许多的microhylidae家庭,这些青蛙绕过蝌蚪阶段,发展完全符合鸡蛋的孵化过程。 雄性青蛙拥抱一窝卵块每天晚上保持卵块的潮湿性和保护它们免遭食肉动物,如昆虫的侵害。
