- Australian ground frogs take the standard weirdness of frog reproduction and development to the next level...and then to the next-next level. From swallowing eggs to putting tadpoles in pockets, these amphibians are doing their own thing.

So... even their frogs are marsupials.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
The marsupial frog is also a thing, they have a pouch on their back, and froglets leave like adipose babies. But they live in south America.
Something about Australia makes things want to use flesh pockets
Were marsupials
Haha I know right
The fact the northern sandhill frog's species name ends in "rotunda" makes me happy. They sure are rotund.
I giggled for several minutes (and still do).
I love being Australian and having this frog.
People often mistake Australia as some Dangerous Crazy Place but I've lived in Australia my whole life and I've never died once. Its great.
Yessir
Clear case of survivorship bias. Most people who lived in Australia are dead.
Yah i couldnt imagine a xmas without snow!!😢
It’s more dangerous considering just a few decades ago you could die from a spider chilling in your shoe
You will. I guarantee it.
Probably rather from diet-related heart disease than from toxic spider-crabs jumping on you from the trees.
But you will.
Kinda brings a whole new meaning to having a frog in your throat
Underrated comment!
@@wendymoyer782 it really is!
"I got a small frog in my throat."
"Congratulations! When´s the due-day?"
Never change, Australia.
That's funny, because if Australia hadn't changed, it wouldn't be the flabbergastingly weird place it is today.
Can't change, won't change ,Australia
Unlike Tasmania that place can change not apart of Au continent apparently
too late
Frfr
Here in South America, we aren't far behind Australia, we have the Surinamese Frog, literally the worst enemy of the trypophobes
I was scared that this episode would be about them.
Yesterday I jumped in a filthy pond just to get my hands on a lotus seed pod. I hide them under my friend with trypophobia's pillow once every few years.
@@Rikitikitavi9162 omg yes! I was absolutely terrified that this episode would be about that frog. It makes me feel like scratching my skin off and vomiting just thinking about it. Until I saw this comment I had my finger ready to hit pause and change the video for a minute there. I wish I never heard of those frogs. I was in blissful ignorance until about a year ago. Lol.
That's gotta be the bizarrest frog, but I'm so thankful we have been spared and got introduced to some lesser known (& less heebiejeebie inducing) bizarre frogs.
@@elizabethclark8226
Wait till you hear about the zombie sails
I'd heard of gastric-brooding frogs, but I didn't realize they were extinct until now. (Though, honestly, I'm not surprised...amphibians all over the world are in trouble. :( )
The starry night toad is going extinct and that makes me sad :(
damn fungus, pollution, invasive species and human development are just the worse for most amphibians. invasives don't care as much cause they can just swarm places Ala cane toad
"You know how this has to end, it's going to get gross... says the PLACENTAL MAMMAL."
I clicked on this video thinking it would be about that gross frog whose babies came out of their backs. I am so thankful it was not.
The surinam toad is one of the few animals I actually hate. I'm not sure if I count as a trypophobe though because lotus seed pods and wasp nests don't bother me at all and those toads are the only one that bothers me.
@@michaelyu2744 Probably because the frog is alive through this, while seed pods and wasp nests aren't.
That frog is called R. darwinii
We don’t Stan the Surinam toad
"The Frog That Swallowed Its Young"
At least once a week, I consider it myself.
The Kronos instinct

Australia has some of the best, most interesting critters in the world. Also, 1:32 this little frog has the strangest face for a frog that I've ever seen. It's more lizard, or tortoise/turtle shaped than frog, maybe that's where it gets the name, "Turtle Frog"... And the shape of it's body also reminds me very much of a Rain Frog. All that aside, it's still a pretty cute, albeit weird , little frog. Thank you for video! 😊👍
Yeah, that's why it's called a turtle frog! It looks like a turtle w/o the shell!
I remember reading “All Tomorrow” and thinking some of the speculative biology stuff was too weird to be possible in natural evolution. Learning about these frogs certainly make me think I might need to take back that statement.
That is one FREAKY book!
Lol, I watched a different video on this channel and subscribed, not realizing it was another channel involving Hank Green. Got thirty seconds into this video before realizing, "wait, Hank is here too?" How does one man do so much?
Adhd
Snake : are those your eggs?
Frog : no.
Snake : cool can i have them?
Frog : nope I'm eating them for lunch.
Snake : well anyways.
Frog : *sike
This frog: Swallos its young
Suriname Toad: Hold my beer
Southern Gastric Brooding Frog: swallows its young
Bullfrog: Hold my beer.
I really like the tiny frog in the big frogs mouth.
The turtle-frog is ridiculously adorable.
I wish there was a subscription for the stickers based off the pins
We do have stickers! And we make new stickers every now and again, so frog stickers could happen! store.dftba.com/collections/bizarrebeasts
Is... is turtle frog Bulbasaur?
😂😂
If i learned one thing from jurassic Park, then it would be to not Experiment around with extinct frog reproducing:D
direct development is actually the ancestral state of amphibians, same as most vertebrates, metamorphosis only evolved later in some lineages.
Humans undergo a kind of metamorphosis during gestation. We each had gills at one point in life!
Awesome isn't it?
@@kateaveryavery1342 equally awesome and strange
I’m gonna keep my babies in a fish tank
@@generalhypocrisy1876 the womb is kind of a fish tank... never thought of that before
@@Billchu13 I remember looking in awe at my firstborn, thinking, "24 hours ago you were living happily, and comfortably in a liquid environment, and now, here you are, breathing air independently, and doing so well!" Just crazy!
and we didn’t name the frog Kronos?!
Hank I love u thank u for existing, I understand it gets tough to exist. You make existing easier for me. #dftba ❤️
I got my pin a couple days ago, found it cute as hell, and have been waiting for this episode.
-I like these frogs !
-Thanks, they have pockets
FROG! FROG! FROG! FROG! FROG! FROG! FROG! FROG!
I actually got this pin a few days BEFORE this video came out. I don't know how that happened, but I'm not complaining!
Oh my goodness I wore my frog shirt today this is just perfect.
1:36 - For a moment I thought he said "turtle frog bros"
Teenage Mutant Turtle Frog Bros
"Crazy frog" played in my head this whole video
y'all can't casually drop the plot of Jurassic Park at the end of your video and get away with it like
++
The first frog to swallow their own eggs must have been surprised to barf up babies later
neat, i learned about a few weird frogs in my country
This video and the channel just popped in my recommandation, I've never heard about it!!!! So glad to discover this precious mine or awesome cool information. Love it. Thanks!
Wierd... is officially a compliment now right?
Is there anywhere on the internet I won't find Hank Green? Not complaining, just more surprised than I should be
Today's my birthday, so thanks for this gift. Frogs are nice.
4:53 YOU CAN FICKING DO THAT?!?! WHOA
So I live in Perth, and we have a species of ground frog here called whooping frogs. . . They make a very distinct 'wooooooop' sound (hence the name).
Now the fun part of that is on more than one occasion I have found myself shitfaced having a durry on the patio listening to them. . . Then imitating them. . . Then slowly changing the call. . . Which they totally change aswell :D
After about an hour you'll get 4-5 of them slowly making their way to the patio with completely ruined mating calls. I'll only do it for like an hour or so, don't want to actually ruin their chances of breeding. . . But it's hilarious at the time.
“Kangaroos instead of deers” well we also have deer in Australia and they have a population of about a quarter of kangaroos so we have both
Thank you Greer Pangur And Grim for making me aware of this channel with that funky pin
You guys gotta do the PATOO bird..its always been a wonderful and wierd relative of hummingbirds...that whole family of birds are wierd.
That DAMNED FROG. Every time I try to escape it's image...it burns it's face back into my mind. Why does the turtle frog have to look like an uncooked hamburger patty whom after eating from the forbidden tree, decided to burden us down here on earth.
Gastric Brooding Frogs are my favorite!!!!
i love how much this guy loves that frog pin
Okay wow my strange undertale AU froggit has some biological backing! Thanks, southern gastric brooding frog! You are so bizarre you make a sci-fi setting actually grounded.
And for those who may ask the froggits are replaced with a variant called the voracious froggit, which has a chest cavity that leaves a gaping hole. Due to alien weirdness the eggs naturally travel to this cavity to block it instead of being laid. The acid from the mother froggit would melt the shell over time and the baby would be direct developing while sitting squarely in the cavity; feasting on a portion of whatever the mother would catch (which ranges from bugs to people because these things can grow to the size of a minivan).
After it is done with its time in the Frog Spot (which will last for at least a year), the froggit will be unceremoniously pushed out of its mother by a new egg.
I don't exactly remember how it got this weird during the writing process but then again alien biology is always really easy to make weird and slightly gross.
So this is why Bulbasaur doesn't have a tadpole stage.
I’m very much looking forward to receiving this month’s pin :)
Christ chex i just canceled my subscription and then you had to release this adorable pin
I love the fun crazy colors!!
Nothing beats Australian herpetofauna.
Normal, frogs in the United States I think tree frogs lay their eggs and inseminate them in a foam on tree branches usually hanging over areas of water. The first time I thought this was amazing! If they are mature enough, you can even see the tadpole hatchlings inside of the eggs.
Picture the scene: A menacing looking frog dressed as a western outlaw busts through the saloon door with two large holsters on his hips. The bartender notices the holsters don't have guns in them and asks what kind of weapons those are for. The outlaw replies in a gruff and stern voice "Those aren't for my guns.... Thems my baby holsters, for hold'n my babies.."
Frogs: Wait, humans are born as just regular humans, but small?
Those frogs sound like the amphibian version of marsupial mammals
It's ez too know why they went extinct, I mean in a normal frog reproduction, some might die, some might survive, but in gastric frog, if the mom gets eaten by a predator, everybody dies.
Bizarre Beasts is fun. It doesn't preach how bad its audience is. I love this volg.
4:09 It's frogs all the way down?
Huh. I didn't know frogs were this cool
In their relentless arm's race Australia had to to forge a weapon to surpass Indonesia's flying frogs...
Only Australia would come up with marsupial frogs.
Turtle frog-bros stay humid enough....
Look at Surinamese Toad. They lay eggs in their own backs and they burst out of their backs it's nightmare fuel.
Im not digging some of the color combos on some of the pins. Id personally rather it be accurate coloring to the animal. Still love them though!
Ah, I see they use the Kronos method of parenting.
I’m shocked the suriname toad didn’t get brought up here
The turtle frog is the cutest thing I’ve never seen
Please take a look at Common Surinam toad (Pipa pipa). It's even weirder.
Slaayy ✨Australian frogs✨ SLAAAAAAYYYY
Ok cringer
In direct development does the tadpole phase not happen at all, or just in the egg so they aren't technically born yet?
In direct development, they are born (or hatched in this case) as small versions of how they're gonna be when they grow up (like mammals for example). In indirect development, they're born as totally different animals than the adults of the species and have a methamorphosis phase (there are some species that had been classified as different animals because the adults and the youngs looked really different and didn't even share habitat). Eggs are not part of the development cicle.
The tadpole stage is technically there but the gills are oftentimes highly reduced or absent. Also, the tail is oftentimes reduced as well. They wouldn't be able to swim freely anyway due to the attached huge yolk sack that comprises most of the inside of the egg until it gets fully absorbed by the baby frog close to hatching time. So the "tadpoles" in these frogs resemble in many aspects more the early stage embryos of other vertebrates instead of the typical tadpoles of other frogs.
There are amphibian species where there is a free wriggling tadpole inside the egg that then metamorphoses into a juvenile before hatching. But those species with direct development take it one or two steps further.
Hi Hank Green
I wish that we had more frogs in my area. Unfortunately my husband snores like a toad.
Thx for not making this month's pin the gastric brooding frog guys. That's a fact I like to know but not see
4:45 didn't one spiecies get rediscovered?
Jurassic frog is what's about to happen. Woah.
Even Ovid wrote about metamorphosis.
bring back the sock box
Tbh the only gross thing about the frog barfing up baby froggos is how dirty that person's nail is kfytkcyktk
So.... Baby Yoda was just trying to help out?
I mean... 60-80% of all animals doesn't mean much when a lot of those animals are bugs and other arthropods. Vertebrates, on the other hand...
No way, you made this up!
Cuuute
Hm. Don't like this, don't like any of this. Except turtle frogs, those little guys are a delight
Agreed on all counts.
*Although 'forest toadlets' have an excellent name
*sends link to Ridley Scott*
God sure is an amazing creator to think of so many different kinds of creatures, even within it's own family!
Undead cannibal frog
Not NEARLY as weird as Strepsipteran lifecycles
nice vid
Thetve been waiting for this time to come.
Coming out from the belly of the beast is a great metaphor for coming back from the evolutionary grave.
I choose to believe it has been a prophecy which they have surrounded with ritual in order to remember. Frog religion?
I like the word 'toadlet'
As they say here in India "Maa tujhe salaam."(" I salute you mother")...
Nature is weird as hell damn
Tasmania is also Australia…
Why did you add on Tasmania like it’s not part of Australia?
Maybe because it's ditinct in biogeographic sense.
AND GASTRIC BROODING FROG
In australia strange is usual
Epic
what kind of frog gets "beefy arms" lol
Kangaroos instead of deer..? We have plenty of deer.
