A fossilized frog, dating back 100 million years and found in China, has been discovered with a belly full of eggs, making it the oldest such frog ever found. Researchers believe the frog was likely killed during mating, possibly drowned by a male during amplexus behavior. The discovery offers insights into the reproductive history of ancient frogs and sheds light on their survival strategies during the dinosaur era.
