The mucus glands of the frog create mucus which help in keeping the skin moist and slimy. It has an offensive odor in the case of some frogs which keep away predators. Slimy skin helps the frog to slip away easily from the captors grip. The mucus also protects the skin from infection. The secretion of the mucus gland help the male in attracting the female during mating season.The frog also uses the mucus to trap flies. In certain poisonous frogs, the mucus is poisonous which helps in capturing prey
