They don't sting or bite, but some
frog
s nevertheless can fend off the most ferocious foes. Their secret? Poison secreted from their skin. This chemical coating shields a
frog
from being eaten by predators. One tiny drop of toxin is all it takes to paralyze and in some cases kill a foe—including a person. Not all
frog
toxins are deadly, but even the weaker chemicals can cause numbness. Many also have a bitter taste that repels predators.
