Smokey Jungle Frog
leptodactylus pentadactylus

This unusual large frog lives in the jungle regions of Central and South America. Unlike most frogs, they prefer to live away from water, and so in order to protect their eggs from drying out the female excretes a liquid which she beats into a froth and on which she lays her eggs. The outside of the froth then hardens into a crust and, voila - instant protection!
