Overview
- Female frogs exhibit behaviors like feigning death and calling out to escape aggressive male attention during mating season.
- Mass mating events create risks for female frogs who can be smothered by crowds of eager males.
- Smaller female frogs utilize tactics like "tonic immobility" more often and tend to evade male advances.
- Females imitate male warning calls and vigorously twist their bodies to dislodge clinging males.
- Research shows female frogs are not passive in mating and have evolved techniques to control their reproduction.
