Mother mountain chicken frogs may feed their tadpoles 10-13 times during their development, meaning she may produce an estimated 10,000-25,000 eggs.Two females had been living together before a male was introduced in November and the births were the first Mountain chickens to be born at the zoo for five years.
The species is the largest native frog in the Caribbean and was once widespread across seven islands.
