Hi,
People were talking about culling on frognet and I want to also post this here..
I have been wondering for some time regarding the way ventrimaculatus cull their unfits in the wild.
Here's why: we know that their tadpoles are cannibal. We also know that they lay tons of eggs at a given time.
So what if, in the wild, these 10-20 eggs were meant to be deposited, to
hatch and eat each other... and out of a pool, only morph one frog at a
given time?
Like a different type of egg feeding...
So in the wild, the most cannibalistic (sp?) tadpoles got to morph and pass
on their genes...
Any thought?
