Fun fact: One of these fabulous frogs was at a zoo in Arizona, and my mother, while wearing a BRIGHT yellow shirt with small black triangles, walked up to it's tank. An he was SMITTEN. He marched right up to her and attempted to woo her. I have a picture of it and it's one of the timeless things we own.

One also has to consider that we are all human, we all make mistakes and that finding all research or knowledge on a subject can be difficult.

The only thing between them and death was the ""protective"" clothing and accessories the mother had put in them, which I guess worked as a thick-layered barrier between the venom and the kid's skin. Nevertheless, they were rushed to a hospital just to be sure... idk the details, but the kid is fine today. It was af to the parents, to the point my friend (dad) continues in therapy due to PTSD today, 6~7 years later. Bizarre...

❤ I'd like to understand the physical sensations, and perhaps the thought process of a predator after it has bitten down on a dart frog. For example: when you showed the clip of the snake eating the frog. Did the neuro toxins cause the snake to feel sensations similar to a brain-freeze, an acidic burn, scalding heat, extreme bitterness similiar to Buckley's cough syrup? In other words, how can I best imagine the sensation of a fatal snack through common experiences that we all HAVE experienced or likely will in the future?

As a person who has always been around wildlife, it surprises me when people genuinely don't know that bright colors, no obvious protective features, and it's walking/crawling in the open without a hurry are all signs that you should not only avoid eating it, but often touching too. Some locusts and beatles will make you horribly sick if you happen to even eat a sandwich after picking one up. And to be honest I kinda leaned that without anyone telling me AND without eating any bright creatures. It just one of those "no other creature is doing it so it must be bad" scenarios. Birds probably do the same and know not to eat them. Another possibility that I've personally seen happen is birds typically prey on animals or insects they got from mom from before they could fly. If mom went on to get a poison frog she wouldn't come back and the chicks would die; therefore introducing pressure and a filter to avoid the frogs.

I don't think there is a problem with the way the graph is layout. it means the same amount that reaches LD50 doesn't reach so high when it comes from the snake. However she does say that 0.2μg is enough to kill a human, while the slide says 0.2μg/kg, a human usually weigh more than 1 kg, and LD50 is not 100% so it's not enough.
@sljzz441 5 ай бұрын
@@elraviv Uh.... I get the idea that the video wants to convey is that frog toxin is more poisonous than snake venom. However, the picture put LD50 on the y-axis, and LD50 is, by definition, the amount of poison needed to kill 50% of subjects. The frog has a lower LD50, but it has a higher bar on the graph, making the graph technically incorrect. It'd be completely fine the y-axis was 'toxicity' or 'mortality rate' or 'LD50^-1 on the graph.

Hi Real Science team, seen something intersting about the design of shark skin and how engineers want to replicate them to us on airplanes to make them more streamlined, can be intersting.

Reminds me of the movie Men in Black in the scene where K is screaming st the giant cockroach "EAT ME, EAT ME." These little frogs are daring other animals to eat them.

Great vid. But what so you mean by " some frogs change their susceptibility to the toxin by a SNP". Is that epigenetic? Or do you mean that frogs that exhibit immunity to the toxin have an SNP difference that is inherited?
