The surinam toad's version of parenting is even more eccentric. Her young literally get under her skin. They develop from tadpoles in a wad of skin on her back and emerge as fully-formed toadlets. Most toads lay hundreds of eggs and only a few survive, but this method ensures that all the Surinam offspring become baby toads, and once free they can fend for themselves.
