🍅 Craving a juicy ripe tomato? The tomato frog (Dyscophus antogilii) can’t help you. While it might resemble a juicy fruit, this amphibian probably wouldn’t taste very good. Why? A ripe tomato’s bright red coloring, produced by the phytochemical lycopene, is a signal that it’s ready to eat. However, the bright red hue of the tomato frog is an example of aposematic coloration—a warning signal to predators that means “don’t touch!” If bothered, it can secrete a sticky, mildly toxic goo. The tomato frog can also inflate its body like a balloon, making it hard to swallow.
