Welcome to a brand new week of Wild Facts!\u00a0 I trust all of you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the week.\u00a0 I don’t know about all of you but I am really looking forward to this week.\u00a0 I get the feeling that it will be an amazing week and I am glad that I get to share it with each and everyone of you.\u00a0 To get the week started in the right direction we are heading to one of my favourite wildlife places, Madagascar, where we will find this bright coloured amphibian called the Tomato Frog.\u00a0 If you are as intrigued as I am about this creature then keep reading.<\/p>\n

Obviously the first thing you notice about the Tomato Frog is the bright red colouring.\u00a0 Now, I have never had the opportunity to name an animal and I don’t claim to know a lot about typical naming conventions but I am going to go out on a limb and suggest the bright red colour lead to this frog’s common name.\u00a0 If you have been following Wild Facts for any amount of time you should know the answer to the following question (if you don’t then I haven’t been doing my job very well).\u00a0 What does it typically mean when an animal has bright colouring?\u00a0 No, it doesn’t mean that they are sloppy finger painters (well I guess it could), it means they are most likely toxic.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course the Tomato Frog is posionous, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked the previous question.\u00a0 When this frog is threatened they will puff up their body and release a thick substance from their skin that causes the potential predators eyes and mouth to “gum” up.\u00a0 Naturally, the predator will drop their prey in an attempt to figure out why they can’t open their eyes anymore.\u00a0 Although this gummy substance won’t kill a human the poison in this secretion can cause an allergic reaction.\u00a0 My advice is not to scare a Tomato Frog and definitely don’t try to put it in your mouth.<\/p>\n

Tomato Frog Fast Fact – <\/strong>Although they can puff out and act big, the Tomato Frog usually ranges from 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) in length.\u00a0 Usually the female is the larger of the two genders.\u00a0 Just remember that you can stand up for what you believe in no matter how big and strong you are.\u00a0 Especially if what you believe in is not being consumed by a mean ol’ predator.<\/p>\n

That just about does it for the nice, bright Tomato Frog.\u00a0 Now go and enjoy the rest of your day. I will see all of you here bright and early tomorrow morning… don’t be late!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
