Ever See a Fron,s Nest2

In Brazil there exists a species CT
tree frog (Hyla faber) which con-
structs in the water a curious nest,
or fertilization, to protect its eggs
and its young from the attacks of fish
Starting at the bottom Of pond, the
mother frog erects a circular, tube
like wall of mud, which at the top pro
jects above the surface of the water
where it bears some resemblance to
the crater of a miniature volcano
In the water thus enclosed the eggs
are laid, and when they have matched
out the young frogs are secure from
enemies until they are able to take
care Of themselves. In the meantime
the parents remain in the neighbor
hood as if on guard
