Mating Frogs!!!
As you can see, our African Clawed Frogs have started mating. The pigmented male has wrapped his hands around the albino female. This is the first time in the 4 or 5 years we have had them that I witnessed anything like it!
From what I read about ACFs, the male will "squeeze" the female until her eggs are released. Most likely, they will not become tadpoles. They tend to be eaten before they can form.
I will be on the lookout for them!

This is a little weird.. but cool too!
That is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen!
Evidently, I startled them while taking the picture. They separated without the release of any eggs.
It is possible they were just playing around...
Who knows! I will continue to watch them to see if they are really mating!
they're gettin freaky!
