Frog Stuffed Animals | Soft Frog Stuffed Toys
Frog Stuffed Animal Facts:
Over 5,000 species of frog stuffed animals have been discovered and live all over the world. The group which soft frog stuffed toys belong to is the amphibians. Meaning they are capable of breathing water when born and air as an adult. Compared to their relatives the toad, the skin of frog stuffed animals are both more soft and more smooth. Certain varieties of frogs secrete a venom which is toxic to predators. Enemies of a poisonous frog are warned by the coloring of its skin and usually will not attack it.
There are many varieties of poisonous frogs but the red-eyed tree frog soft toy is not one of them. These frog stuffed toys are bright green with ruby-like eyes and have legs striped with blue, and bearing feet that are either orange or yellow. When awakened by an enemy while resting on leaves in the daytime, a flash of its feet and its bulging red eyes, protect it from being attacked. This causes the predator to reconsider prior to obtaining a meal and gives them ample time to safely leap away. When it jumps away, it can make its enemy's eyes over stimulate and then all the potential attacker sees is a ghostlike image of the frog as it hops away.
Predators can be poisoned by ingesting certain frogs although researchers feel their venom may have some value to mankind. The poison of some dart frogs is capable of producing a painkiller far more effective than morphine according to scientists. As well, they are examining the chemicals that are under the frog's skin that make the poison. In hopes of forming a resistance to HIV for people.
What's unusual about frog stuffed animals are the length of their sticky tongues as well as their webbed toes. When they notice a nearby meal they quickly flick out their long tongue to catch their prey. Even without teeth to chew, their large mouths are suitable for grabbing small bugs which are swallowed whole. You may be surprised to learn that frog stuffed toys do not drink water, ever. Because they can absorb all of the water needed by their bodies, which keep them hydrated when swimming.
