Bizarre Alien-Like Scene of Tadpoles Feasting on Chicken Frog Eggs

"Alien-like" scenes of tadpoles feasting on eggs emerging from their mother have been caught on camera.

Once numbers have been boosted in captivity, researchers hope to reintroduce the frogs back into the wild within the next two years.
