Answer 1

This behavior is an example of B. overproduction. The frog lays thousands of eggs, which is much more than it needs, or would need in perfect conditions. However, most of those eggs doesn't survive, and little frogs are never born in that case. This is why it has to have a lot of eggs so as to ensure that a decent number of offspring survives so as to continue the species.
