Breeding😏 Male frogs make calls to attract the females during the mating season. The female will choose a male whose call she likes, and the male will grab her as she releases her eggs in a mating hug called amplexus. Almost all frog species fertilize the eggs outside the female’s body. Amplexus can last hours, days, or in some species like the Andean toad, months. The mother will lay two to more than 50,000 eggs depending on the species.
