Jedna z nejpodivnějších věcí co jsem v Africe pozoroval.
U silnice byl malý "rybník" prostě taková prohlubeň zaplavená vodou a nad ní trčela suchá větev. Běžná věc až na tu pěnu nalepenou na klacku. Vypadala přesně jak pachový ohradník, který se v Česku používá proti prasatům, takový ten bobek PU pěny na klacku u pole.
Jenže tohle postavily žáby a uvnitř mají vajíčka. Až se pulec vylíhne, prostě skočí do vody.

One of the strangest things I've observed in Africa.
There was a small "pond" by the road, just a depression flooded with water and a dry branch sticking above it. It was a normal thing, except for the foam stuck to the stick. It looked exactly like the smell fence used in the Czech Republic against pigs, a kind of PU foam poop on a stick by the field. Only this was built by frogs, and they've got eggs inside.
When the tadpoles hatch, they just jump into the water.
