What do frogs eat
Frogs are vertebrates in the class Anura (tailless, an = no, uro = tail) of the amphibian (amphibian) class. They are famous for their leaps (a world record for body size) and hangar ghyan dak (love calls) during monsoons (breeding season).
Why the frog (Rhinella marina) is also known as the monster neotropical toad or marine frog. It is a large, terrestrial toad found in mainland South and Central America. However, it has been found in Oceania, the Caribbean islands, and even northern Australia. It is the largest frog in the world. It is a member of the genus Rhinella but was formerly classified under the genus Bufo which includes many species of true toads in Central and South America.
Why is the frog a prolific breeder? The female frog gives birth to a clump of thousands of eggs. Its reproductive success is largely due to its opportunistic feeding habits. It has a feeding habit not commonly seen in other frog species. It can eat everything living and dead. Adult frogs average 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) in length. The largest recorded specimen measured 24 cm (9.4 in) from nostril to anus.
Poisonous frog
The Green Cascade Frog is the country's first poisonous frog. However, although it was first identified in Bangladesh, this species of frog is present in India's Meghalaya, Myanmar, and Vietnam. He said that when the green cascade frog is attacked, it releases a foul smell and poisonous juice from the body in self-defense. As a result, enemies do not want to eat it.
Some of the most poisonous frogs
Golden poison frog

world. They are found in the rainforests of Colombia on the Pacific coast. Abundant rainfall and moderate temperatures are
suitable for their habitat. These frogs of the Golden poison frog species are not more than 5 cm in length. You see, he looks very small. But what if it looks small! They can eat many times more food than their own body! That's probably why their other name is eating frogs. The golden skin of the body is full of their poison. Their venom is so strong that 1 mg of it can kill 10,000 rats or 10 to 20 people. Such a strong poison! Just a touch on the back can kill anyone.
