A file photo of a Gastric-Brooding Frog. Researchers are trying to clone the frog, which has been extinct since 1983. The frog gives birth through its mouth. ( Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts) Researchers are trying hard to bring one of the world's weirdest, and undoubtedly coolest, frogs back to life. The Gastric-brooding frog became extinct in the mid-1980's. It was native to a small portion of Queensland Australia and, here's what makes it so interesting, it gave birth through its mouth. The gastric-brooding frog is the only known frog to give birth through its mouth. According to researchers at the University of South Wales, the frog lays eggs but then swallows them. The eggs are coated in a substance called prostaglandin which causes the frog to stop producing gastric acid in its stomach so the eggs will be safe in her stomach.
Having been involved in the delivery of the young of many animals I can say that humans are not the only species that experience pain and vocalise when giving birth. I obviously only generally see animals that require assistance and therefore are generally experiencing complications. The strength of the contractions against an immovable foetus causes distress and pain in all the animals I have dealt with including cows, horses, dogs and cats. Horses in particular suffer with difficult births with a stuck foal being a life threatening emergency.
