Owing to the harsh environment and the wide expanses of territory each Kuddaba needs to find sufficient sustenance, the females will deposit their eggs in the cracks and crevasses of large rocks. These eggs will then emit a scent that passing males will pick up on, allowing them to locate the stones and, in a show of breeding prowess that ensures that only the most resilient of seeds will fertilize the embryo, the males will use their petrous phalluses to break through the rock. This peculiar mating habit explains the mistaken belief that the Kuddaba have intercourse with the rocks themselves
