At long last, somebody might want to fuck this frog

Last year, we told you about Romeo, a Sehuencas water frog whose utter inability to get laid threatened to spell the end of his entire species. Today, however, hope has reared its slimy, bug-eyed head: Romeo has a girlfriend.
Found in a Bolivian cloud forest approximately 10 years ago, experts feared that Romeo was the last frog of his kind. Since Sehuencas water frogs live to be about 15 years old, herpetologists were concerned Romeo would never get it on with anyone, and his species would be no more. An expedition earlier this year to the same cloud forest where Romeo was discovered, however, yielded an amazing find: five more Sehuencas water frogs, two of whom are female, and one of whom just might be catching feelings for Romeo. After clearing her for potential parasites, the female frog, Juliet, moved into Romeo’s tank, and Romeo, the horny old bastard, made his first mating call since 2017.
“Romeo has been really sweet to Juliet, following her around the aquarium and sacrificing his worm meals for her,” said the museum’s chief herpetologist Teresa Camacho Badani.
Make no mistake: this frog is ready to fuck.
