As the first summer rains fall in South Africa, they awaken a sleeping giant from nearly half a meter below ground. Giant bullfrogs spend up to 10 months of the year lying dormant in a buried cocoon. When they surface it’s a scramble for the males to establish dominance and mate with as many females as possible. But females have their own techniques for singling out the fittest males, which will care for their thousands of tadpoles.
