The Amazing Upside-Down Mating Ritual of a Rare Indian Frog

A new study reveals the unique breeding behavior of the Charles Darwin frog, found only in the Andaman Islands off the coast of India.

The males even engage in aggressive fights, using kicks, punches, and bites to defend their mates.

This remarkable discovery highlights the incredible diversity of frog species and emphasizes the need to protect their habitats from threats like deforestation.
