지문
Most frogs lay eggs in water.

But the place the African gray treefrog lays eggs is in a nest in a tree.

The female frog climbs onto a branch above a pool of water.

She releases a thick liquid, and before it has a chance to drip into the pool, she kicks it with her hind legs.

She does this repeatedly, allowing the drops of liquid to swell like small balloons.

Soon she whipped the liquid into a big blob of foam.

After that, she lays eggs in this foam.

After she lays eggs in this foam nest, male frogs fertilize them, and then the outer bubbles harden.

Thanks to the 'hard case,' the foam inside stays moist-a perfect place for
the eggs to hatch into tadpoles.

A few days later, the tadpoles all wiggle out and fall into the water.
