The Kermit-sutra: New mating position is discovered in Indian frogs called the 'dorsal straddle'

A team of researchers led by the University of New Delphi in India discovered the male Bombay night frog (pictured) straddles his partner instead of embracing her. 


This ‘froggy style’ mating position is thought to be unique among the 6,650 species of frogs and toads found across the world, making the male Bombay night frog quite the amphibian Casanova. But when it comes to calling for a mate, the female takes the initiative.
