<noun.animal>

Pipa \Pi*pa\, n.; pl. {Pipas}. (Zo["o]l.)
The Surinam toad ({Pipa Americana}), noted for its peculiar
breeding habits.

where they soon become inclosed in capsules formed by
the thickening of the skin. The incubation of the eggs
takes place in the capsules, and the young, when
hatched, come forth with well developed legs.
