"Alytes obstetricans" - less commonly called the nurse frog. While they neither nurse nor help deliver others' babies, the males of this species do carry their eggs on their back and thighs until they're ready to hatch. They have a very western approach to child rearing, which is fitting since this frog is found throughout most of Western Europe. (Sometimes though, after their tadpoles leave them, they can enter a state of lethargy known as a midwife crisis)
