Poisonous frogs have the poison on their skins or it is excreted through the skin. When a animal or human touches the frog, the poison transfers through skin to skin contact. If an animal tries to bite or eat the frog (example: a snake or possum), the poisons transfer from the frog's skin to the predator's mouth. Did you know that most poisonous frogs are also the most colorful? The distinctive coloring is part of their warning system, "Don't eat me; I'll taste bad and kill you."
