Frog poison, often referred to as "frog toxin," is a toxic secretion produced by certain species of frogs, particularly those in the family Bufonidae, like the cane toad. These toxins are synthesized in specialized skin glands and can vary widely in composition, including alkaloids, peptides, and other bioactive compounds. The toxins serve as a defense mechanism against predators by causing irritation, paralysis, or even death. Additionally, some frogs absorb toxins from their diet, particularly from consuming toxic insects or plants, enhancing their own poisonous defenses.
