yeah the name sounds weird but...
this is the first animal in my Extinct Series

Native to: mountains of Queensland, Australia.
Scientific name: Rheobatrachus
Family: Myobatrachidae
Kingdom: Animalia
Order: Anura
Class: Amphibia

the gastric brooding frog was discovered in 1972
then in 1974 Mike Tyler took notice of how it raises its young.

the gastric brooding frog lays its eggs then the male fertilizes them then the mother swallows them and when their fully developed they come out again.

the gastric brooding frog went extinct in 2002 due to humans introducing pathogenic fungi into their habitat/ecosystem.
