PhotoFeed Contest - Wildlife Photography Round 110 ~ Puru Frog
Hello Hivers...
The toad is a type of toad that has the characteristic of rough bumpy skin, which is often considered poisonous. This frog belongs to the Bufonidae family and is spread across various parts of the world, including Asia, especially Indonesia.
Almost all puru frogs in the Bufonidae family have two tubercles on both sides at the back of the head which are called parotid glands. These glands contain poison, which flows out when the puru frog experiences stress. Some types of puru frogs, such as the Bufo marinus toad (English: Cane Toad), are more toxic than others. Some "psychoactive toads", for example the Bufo alvaris toad (English: Colorado River Toad), have been used as a psychedelic substance by licking their poison or lighting the dried poison and then inhaling the smoke.
The puru frog is a type of cold-blooded amphibian that lays eggs. Puru frog eggs will hatch as tadpoles, before turning into adult puru frogs. The skin of the puru frog is drier than that of the frog and its habit is tuberous (see picture). Puru frogs eat small insects and worms. Source
