Gastric-brooding frog

What dangerous and foolish creatures we human beings can be. Behold Australia's Gastric-brooding frog and see a photo of Mama giving birth out of her mouth.

Discovered in the 1970s. Extinct by the 1980s. RIP.

"The habitat that the Southern Gastric-brooding Frog once inhabited is now threatened by feral pigs, the invasion of weeds, altered flow and water quality problems due to upstream disturbances."
