Unique breeding biology of the recently described Beytell's bullfrog Pyxicephalus beytelli

Abstract

At the time of the recent description of Beytell's bullfrog (Pyxicephalus beytelli), no information about the breeding biology of this frog was known to science. The intensive publicity in the social media that followed this description caught the eye of a USA-based film maker who incidentally recently filmed the breeding biology of this frog in the Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. This paper is based on these observations.
