Fleshbelly Frogs

Fleshbelly Frogs are a group of New World direct-developing frogs belonging to the Family Craugastoridae found from the southern United States southwards to Central and South America. In real life, it is a large family containing 850 known species.

With the possible exception of a single species, the Broad-headed Rainfrog (Craugastor laticeps) that may be ovoviviparous, the rest of the family of craugastorid frogs use direct development: no free-living tadpole stage is known; instead, eggs develop directly into small froglets.
