Tomato frog
Awuduro wɔ ne honam muƆdi: MmoawaNe ho yɛ awuduro, onni bɔreThe tomato frog is a bright orange-red frog that lives only on the island of Madagascar. Its colour is a warning: its skin produces a sticky white substance that can cause an allergic reaction in people. It is also a species of conservation concern, because many have been taken for the pet trade.1

Ne ho awuduro yɛ dɛn?
The tomato frog is poisonous to touch rather than venomous, as it does not inject venom. A white substance secreted from its skin acts as a glue and can produce an allergic reaction in humans.1
