Another endangered frog currently fighting for survival against the fungus Chytridiomycosis is the Chilean Darwin frog (Rhinoderma darwini).
This frog is absolutely unique in that its eggs are incubated in the vocal sac of the male frog during a period of two months, after which the hatched tadpoles leave the mouth.
