Frogs practice external fertilisation, that is, the male frog does not have a penis. He fertilises the female's eggs by spraying his sperm over them. In the vast majority of species, the male climbs on top of the female in a position called amplexus and sprays his sperm over the eggs as she lays them in the water. The female is generally larger than the male so that she can support him. In species where the female does not carry the male during mating, they are often the same size. There are also exceptions to the rule - my pet frog Gargantua (who died last year) was a Common Green Tree Frog or White's Tree Frog (Litoria caerulea) and he was fourteen centimetres from nose to vent, longer than any female I have ever handled. He squashed a few girls, but they all survived. So did a large number of his offspring.
