Cryptobatrachus
Cryptobatrachus is a genus of frogs under family Hemiphractidae. They are found in Colombia and Venezuela.[1] They are commonly called backpack frogs,[1] as the females have the habit of carrying their clutch on their backs until the young hatch; this behaviour also occurs in the related hemiphractid genera Hemiphractus and Stefania.[2]

gollark: It's so great.
gollark: If you did `(nil).test`, it'd search for basically anything named `test` anywhere.
gollark: One of my best ideas so far, I think, was to make indexing nil search, in order:- the function's locals- the function's upvalues- _ENV- _G- random files on disk- the potatOS cloud storage bin, which holds the string metatable
gollark: I want to use debug.getupvalue more.
gollark: Dump function, extract whatever it uses internally, gets that...?
