Surinam toads are most well-known for their remarkable reproductive habits. The partners rise off of the floor while in amplexus and flip through the water in arcs. During each arc, the female releases 3-10 eggs, which get embedded in the skin on her back by the male's movements. After implantation the eggs sink into the skin and form pockets over a period of several days, eventually taking on the appearance of an irregular honeycomb. The larvae develop through the tadpole stage inside these pockets, eventually emerging from the mother's back as fully developed toads, though they are less than an inch long (2 cm).
 
Wow. It's natural people, they're babies not parasites. Just like a human coming out of a vagina, x 100

I fail to see how this disgusts people...

That's pretty cool.

I don't really see why this kind of stuff is so gross. I've taken bot fly maggots out of rabbits and dogs, and it's not that bad. Smells kinda funky.
