The stallion’s greatest concern is bloodline. To pass on his genes, he is willing to devote himself to foals, males who will become his future rivals for mates. And, also because of his genes, he brutally kills foals of unrelated bloodlines in the most cruel way: by violence, as soon as the foal is born.
The stallion is unable to distinguish the bloodlines of its offspring, so it chooses the most extreme tactic of “Better to kill by mistake than to let one go.” Just detect which mare has the behavior “promiscuous”, It immediately kills its newborn offspring by all means., regardless of whether the offspring is someone else’s or one’s own.
Pee on eggs
Strawberry dart frogs are poisonous frogs that live in the tropical forests of Central and South America and on some islands of Hawaii. They are a large species of poison dart frog, with an adult body length of 2.5 – 6cm. They are famous for being extremely poisonous, and were once used by Native Americans to poison the tips of their arrows as hunting weapons.
Compared to other frog species, strawberry dart frogs lay very few eggs, only about 3 – 6 eggs at a time. Female frogs lay eggs on thick foliage near the ground and male frogs are responsible for protecting the eggs. During the 10 – 18 days before the eggs hatch, male frogs diligently… Pee on the eggs to keep them from drying out and to keep them from smelling bad.

According to researchers, urinating on the eggs is the male frog’s way of helping the female hide the location of the eggs from predators. Before the eggs hatch, protecting and caring for them is the male’s full-time job.
Day and night, the male frogs’ attention is focused on the eggs. They constantly check the humidity, replenish water by urinating on them, and observe their surroundings.
When the eggs hatch, the job of caring for the young falls to the female strawberry dart frog. She carries each tadpole on her back, crawls up to water-filled tree holes, usually high ravines, and releases them, one at a time, into each hole.
After about 43 – 52 days, the strawberry dart frog tadpoles transform into froglets, crawl out of the flooded pineapple ravine and hop out to forage on land. In about 10 months, they will grow into adult male and female strawberry dart frogs and continue their duty to continue the species.
