Check out this amazing video of a Taricha species get eaten by a Bullfrog and then crawls back out after poisoning the frog!
I didn't know that was even possible! I mean, wouldn't the frogs stomach acids seriously hurt the frog?

Video:

I have never seen this before! ;)
 
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. A good reminder to take care when handling certain creatures.
 
Looks like it is cut after the frog leaves the water to when he is dead. Death would have had to happen quickly for the salamander to escape, it seems unlikely to me and is mostly likely staged, but I could be wrong. Definitely a cool video though!

Yah, I thought that too maybe, or maybe they didn't want to show the frog dying because that would be too 'scary' for little kids or something.
I don't know, I mean, it climbs out like its unscathed, and if it was in contact with the frogs stomach acids it wouldn't be.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
