Surinam Toad

in zoölogy, the come by degrees embedded in a series of cells which then form in the skin.

When the process is completed a membrane closes over the cells, and the back of the female bears a strong resemblance to a piece of dark honeycomb. In these cells the eggs are hatched and the young undergo their metamorphosis, bursting through the protecting membrane as perfect frogs.
