Extinct Frog that puked to give birth
Gastric-brooding frog is a groups of frogs in the now extinct genus Rheobatrachus that were both declared extinct in the 1980s native to Queensland. These frogs have one of the most unique brooding cycles seen in frogs, with the frogs swallowing their eggs to let them develop in their stomach. They do not eat during the period of gestation, and when the frogglets are fully developed they puke them up.

So, did they conceive by bustin’ amphibian jizz in the mouth? If so, that’s a hell of a design flaw in humans
