Behavioural Adaptations

 

Again, there are many different types of frogs. The poison dart frog is brightly coloured. This gives a warning to any other animals that the frog is poison and deadly. The frog are often black or white with a bright colour, this means that the frog can absorb sunlight faster allowing the frog to become active. Other species of frogs also sit in the sun, however they dont absorb sunlight as fast due to only being one colour. Additioanlly the poison dart frog will sometimes deliberatly touch the predator in hopes of poisoning it. It's a common fact that frogs eat by flicking their tounge out and capturing the insect. This is a behavioural adaptation all frogs share. Most frogs have teeth, they are used to hold prey down in the frogs mouth while the forg swallows the prey whole. This is due to the teeth of the frog not being very good at chewing. Additionally the frog helps push the prey down its throat by closing its eyelids and dropping its eyes down into its throat.
