Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors Eggs: Unlike other members of the genus, small brown eggs are not laid in water. Instead, eggs are relatively large, unpigmented, and few in quantity, laid on land and hidden in damp places. Metamorphosis happens inside the egg so that young frogs instead of tadpoles emerge (Menzies 1975).
