Pictured: The miracle of birth. There were only two species of gastric-brooding frogs (or platypus frogs) known to have existed: the southern gastric-brooding frog (Rheobatrachus silus) and the northern gastric-brooding frog (Rheobatrachus vitellinus). And yes, I said "were." Both species are extinct. They were the only known species of frogs in which the females incubated their eggs in their stomach. The tadpoles would remain in the mother's stomach until fully developed, at which point they would be birthed through her mouth. (These froglings were glad their mom swallowed them)

On a positive note, a project was begun in 2013, called Project Lazarus (no relation to the Pit) which attempts to revive the species by cloning using DNA from frozen specimens. (A certain Mr. al Ghul seems to be involved, but he has declined to comment)
