Ancient Frog Fossil Reveals Grisly End During Mating

A 100-million-year-old fossilized frog with eggs in its belly has been discovered in China, offering a rare glimpse into the species' life history. The frog likely belonged to the species Gansubatrachus qilianensis and had egg masses in its body, indicating sexual maturation before adulthood. The researchers believe the frog may have met its end during mating, possibly drowned by an amorous male, making it the first Mesozoic case of death linked to mating behavior.
