Two new frog species have more horrible toxins than cobras

Biologists have recently discovered two frogs that can transmit more dangerous toxins than many venomous snakes in the world.

New frog species are able to transmit toxins

Most toads or frogs are considered 'poisonous' species by carrying toxins on their skin to protect themselves. These toxins are synthesized from nature, or they carry a toxic gland in themselves.

However, biologist Carlos Jared recently discovered two species of frogs especially with the ability to transmit toxins directly into the opponent's blood - one of them is Greening's frog.

Frog species of Corythomantis.

The scientific name green frog is Corythomantis. The head of this frog is covered with many sharp spines, carrying deadly venom. They often take advantage of the power to turn, barrage their head with sharp spikes on the opponent. According to experts, this toxin is more toxic than many of the region's cobra species.

Frog species Bruno.

The other frog discovered was the Bruno Hat Frog (Bruno's casque-headed frog). Frog Bruno also possesses sharp spikes covering his head and is even more dangerous than green frogs when he carries toxins 25 times more than normal poisonous snakes. According to the study, only 1 gram of frog venom is enough to kill 300,000 rats or 80 adults.

According to the report of Current Biology, these are the first two frog species that can directly transmit their venom into the opponent's blood. These are also the first two species to be considered ' venomous' - the term used for animals capable of transmitting toxins into the blood like snakes.

In-depth research, experts discovered sharp spikes that were sprouting from the skull and were directly connected to the venom glands. According to Egon Heis from the University of Vienna, Austria: 'It is truly amazing for frogs to find a way to transmit toxins into the blood vessel's predator' . The way of poisoning makes 2 frogs more dangerous than ever.

Toxins are even larger than many venomous snakes

Common frogs and toads synthesize toxins from natural chemicals. But according to Edmund Brodie of Utah State University, ' With such a strong toxin level, we suspect that they can produce toxins'.

Scientists believe there are many species of frogs that can transmit such toxins . In addition, there is the possibility of these poisonous predators.
