Just a quick little profile about gastric brooding frogs. The one in my profile is a southern gbf.

Gastric Brooding Frogs were discovered to be living in Australia after being thought extinct. Although, shortly after they were rediscovered both species went extinct in the 1980s ( the Northern disappearing 18 months after being rediscovered) The frogs got there names because after the male fertilized the eggs the female swallowed them up. Her stomach would expand to fill most of her body cavity by the time the froglets were ready to leave mom. Habitat included wet rainforests, and possible reasons for extinction include habitat loss and degration, pollution, Global Warming, and Amphbian chytrid fungus.

That Snorlax you just called fat? Yeah, it's eating rare candies by the DOZEN for you to accept it. That Gastly you just called ugly? It's been trying to learn a new move to replace its Mean Look. That Slowpoke you just tripped? He has a learning disability that makes him Legally Retarded. See that Hitmonchan with the scars? He fought in Vietnam for your freedoms today.
