令人惊叹的事实
在受到威胁时,烟雾缭绕的丛林蛙会通过膨胀肺部和四足站立来显得更大。它们会从皮肤上分泌一种粘稠的粘液状物质,这种物质对许多动物来说是有害的,同时也会发出刺耳的尖叫声。.
物理特征
Adults can grow up to seven inches in length. They have brownish-colored backs with black markings and cream-colored underparts. Males have black spines on their chests and thumbs to more easily grasp females during mating.
栖息地/饮食
This nocturnal amphibian will spend the daytime hours in burrows, leaf litter, or under logs in subtropical or tropical lowland forests, swamps, riverbanks or marshes in northern South America. Tadpoles are omnivorous, eating algae as well as eggs of their own species. Adults are opportunistic feeders, eating insects and other small reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and even birds.
社交行为
Males will call from the water’s edge to attract females. Females lay up to 1,000 eggs in a foam nest, which is located in a shallow depression near a water source. Predators of smoky jungle frogs include snakes, caimans and coatimundis.
