When it comes time to lay their eggs the Glass Frog will deposit them on the leaves of trees overhanging the mountain rivers and creeks.\u00a0 It may seem silly for a frog to lay its eggs in a tree but this method actually does provide their eggs some protection from predators.\u00a0 Naturally, the eggs will hatch and the tadpoles will fall into the fast moving creeks and streams.\u00a0 At this point, life will start all over again.<\/p>\n
Glass Frog Fast Fact – <\/strong>Although depositing their eggs in trees will protect them from predators, it does make them more susceptible to parasites.\u00a0 As a result some species will actually take care of their eggs before they hatch.\u00a0 I have always said that you should be responsible for the eggs you leave in trees.<\/p>\nI guess this means we only have one Wild Frog Fact left.\u00a0 Make sure you tune in for Friday’s fact as it will be a hopping good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
