Cover: A male Archey's frog guards its egg cluster. The "tadpoles" metamorphose inside the eggs – their own personal ponds. After hatching, still with remnant tails, they will climb their father's hind legs and spend their final weeks of development on his back. New Zealand's four native frog species – all croakless and earless – are considered the most primitive of living frogs. ROD MORRIS
