00:01This frog isn't digesting a meal.
00:04Her babies are developing inside her own stomach.
00:08Somehow, her stomach completely stops producing digestive acid for weeks,
00:13just long enough to keep her own young from being dissolved.

00:22This species is now extinct, and nothing else on Earth are reproduced quite like this.
