No Place Like Foam for Tropical Frogs

The tungara frog which is found in the Carribean and Central America. The frog builds a nest out of a mixture of fluids collected from the female and mixing it with the pond water to make raft for the eggs or larvae. The mixture turns out to be foam like substance that not only creates a float but also serves as protection. The hole concept of the male frog taking fluids from the female and mixing them with pond water is very intellegent. The males have to fertalizze the eggs and place them in specific orders for more protection. The male frog plays more a part in keeping his species alive then the female does, all the female does is lay the eggs, which are not yet fertalized.
