Oophaga pumilio
Frogs in a bromelid, one of them is carring the tadpole.
Rain forest caribean side of Costa Rica
They do that, plus they may lay infertile eggs so the tadpole will have something to eat.
Wow this is wonderfulI cant remember the exact time but I know after a few months (give or take a few) the frogs will move their tadpoles to higher ground before they allow them to be on their own. Wonderful picture!
