Am plexus is a process of breeding that red-eyed tree frogs go through. It is when a male and female Red-eyed tree frog hang upside down on a leaf, and the female lays the eggs onto the leaf.

Why is the thumb of the male frog swollen?

The swollen thumb of male frogs is due to the presence of nuptial pads. These pads are used during mating to grasp onto the female frog during amplexus, which is the mating position. It helps with better grip and stability during the mating process.

Swollen finger in male frogs may be due to the presence of nuptial pads, which are specialized structures used for gripping during mating.

Can a frog and toad mate?

That is generally true what badac claimed, however I've interbred the two species and there is offspring. I bred a male common toad with a female common frog, the offspring wasn't natural at all. The offspring resulted as a tadpole with tiny legs, only two survived and i released the frog,toad and frogtoads back into the wild. Conclusion- A frog and toad can mate but only in captivity, also they need to be similar e.g. treefrog toad and frog, common toad and frog.
