Parental care in amphibians involves both protection of eggs and direct caring behaviors. Protection includes selecting safe egg-laying sites like under stones or in foam nests, while direct care involves behaviors like transporting tadpoles to water, carrying eggs attached to the body, or in pouches on the back or in organs. Some species even exhibit viviparity where eggs develop internally and receive nutrients via a primitive placenta. Overall, amphibians display a wide diversity of parental care behaviors to protect offspring and increase their chances of survival.
