What are the dangers of red frogs?

Answer 1

Red frogs are sometimes dangerous, depending on their species. Their skin secretes a substance that is poisonous to a lot of animals. It does this in order to protect itself from predators that might try to eat it. But a lot of other frogs adapt this skin color as a protection also - except that these frogs don't secrete any poison. It's just the natural shock of the color that makes other predators think that some frogs may be poisonous and that they must avoid them, when they actually aren't poisonous. ~ Hexedgirl2

Answer 2

Red frogs, such as the poison dart frog, can be dangerous due to their highly toxic skin secretions. These toxins can cause serious harm or even death if ingested or if the skin secretions come into contact with open wounds or mucous membranes. It's important to avoid handling or ingesting red frogs in the wild.
