The Suriname Toad, Pipa pipa (Linnaeus, 1758) is an Amazonian frog that also occurs on Trinidad. These specimen are from southwest Trinidad. It can reach 200 mm in total length. Eggs are laid by the female, fertilized by the male and placed on the female's back by the male. The female's skin then swells and encapsulates the eggs where they undergo development. Food is captured by suction feeding. The long fingers end in sensory organs which detect prey in the water (third photo).
