Gastrotheca, also known as Marsupial Frogs, is a genus of frogs found in Central and South America. A genus (plural genera from ΓÎνος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic South America is a Continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a Marsupial Frogs are called that because of the dorsal brood pouch they possess. In some species the eggs are fertilized on the female's lower back, and are inserted in her pouch with the aid of the male's toes. The eggs remain in contact with the female's vascular tissue, which provides oxygen for them. This is an article about vascular tissue in plants For transport in animals see Circulatory system. In other species the eggs are laid in damp leaf litter and the male guards them. When they begin to hatch it is not wet enough for the tad poles to survive so as many as possible (not generally all) are taken by the father into 2 pouches on his underside. They remain "inside" his pouch for several weeks until he "gives birth" to live frogs [1].
