May 1, 20113 Comments

For the last few months, it’s been that time of year again.  The frogs in the lab have been breeding.  So far, this year has been a good year for reproductive output by the colony.   We wanted to provide a few images of what we have been seeing in the lab…enjoy!

Durante los últimos meses, ha vuelto a ser esa época del año.  Las ranas en el laboratorio se han estado reproduciendo.  Hasta ahora, este año ha sido un buen año para la producción reproductiva de la colonia.   Queríamos proporcionar algunas imágenes de lo que hemos estado viendo en el laboratorio... ¡Disfrútalo!
This male Darwin's Frog in our facility remained with the developing clutch (his hand rests on the eggs) for most of their developmental period.

Este macho de rana de Darwin en nuestras instalaciones permaneció con la nidada en desarrollo (su mano descansa sobre los huevos) durante la mayor parte de su período de desarrollo.
This male is brooding a clutch in his vocal sac. He was photographed through the front opening doors of his terrarium without having to disturb him.

We never keep more than two babies in a container. We like to make sure that each baby gets enough to eat.

MUCH more to come…
