The giant leaf frog is a large tree frog with lime green skin and a white or cream belly. It lives in the rainforests of the Amazon basin in South America. Its skin releases chemicals that act as a defence against predators.1

The giant leaf frog's skin secretion contains opioid peptides, including deltorphin and dermorphin. Its skin peptides act as a chemical defence against predators. In kambo rituals, where the secretion is used, it induces intense vomiting.1

Dintlha

1

Its skin secretion is known as Vacina do sapo, or frog vaccine, and is used in a ritual called kambo or sapo.1

2

Up to 61% of the eggs of the giant leaf frog are eaten by predators.1

3

Males fight rivals for mating rights by using their heads to separate a rival male from a female, and by pushing with their hind legs.1

4

Males are more likely to be targeted by predators during mating season, because their loud fights can be heard easily.1

5

Eggs are eaten by rove beetles, phorid flies, possibly tufted capuchins and banded cat-eyed snakes, because they are a source of protein.1

The female and male build a leaf-nest above forest pools and lay eggs in a gelatinous mass about 70 cm above the water. The eggs hatch in about 14 days, and the tadpoles fall into the water to develop into adult frogs.1
