Biology
Nectophrynoides viviparus is a terrestrial species and is ovoviviparous, which means that it does not require a body of water in which to reproduce. Fertilisation is internal and the eggs develop through the larval stage inside the mother's oviduct, eventually emerging as fully formed juvenile toads.
