do frogs bite ?hv they ever killed any1 in any way?

Answer 1

No frogs do not bite. They are amongst the world's most gentle creatures. They use their tongues to catch prey like insects and then bring it into their mouth to chew most of the time swallow.

Yes frogs have killed humans in the rainforest.The only frogs that can harm humans are the toxic ones that live in rainforests like south america.Most toxic frogs have a very colorfull pattern like red or blue.These toxic frogs secrete a sticky gel out of their skin so when predators eat them two things can happen
One:the predator just spits it back out
Two:the predator dies after ingesting it and the frog just climbs out of their mouth

Natives in south america used to use the frogs toxins and put them in darts so they could hunt down things like boar so they could later eat.

the only other way a human could die is if he would be injected with frog toxins
here is some information about a poisonous frog that lives in south america
The Poison Dart Frog

Answer 2

I agree that frogs do not have teeth, but nevertheless some kinds of frogs DO BITE. Pacman frogs for instance, which are known as somewhat aggressive, sometimes bite, usually a case of feeling threatened or simply confusing a finger with a food item. Frogs had killed human but not by biting but rather with the effects of the toxins they reproduce. Toxins may cause injuries but can trigger fatal reactions as well such as severe hypersensitivity.

Answer 3

Frogs don't bite. Some frogs secrete poison from their skin. some are deadly. Most likely some people have died from touching these frogs. I do not beleive there are any poisonous frogs in North America. The ones I read about are in Central and South America. They live in the Rain Forests.

Answer 4

Do Frogs Bite Humans

Answer 5

I accept solemnly , tat frogs do not have any teeth.If biting is a thing which is to be done only with the teeth they do not bite.
I have read in many books tat they like to have their jaws in simple harmonic motion ie closing&opening many times (like t young children without teeth do.)
Of course some r poisonous, tat makes their prey unconscious .
It also uses this to escape from t snake's stomach. In t same way if a man is affected by its poison he too becomes unconscious.
There have been deaths reported in deep forests of north America & other forests.
They mainly happen in t forests coz basically frogs are irritating creatures to see due to their convulsions in the skin.(only so they r given as a practice in t medical courses to get trained.)
The deaths were mainly in t forests due to the fear,irritation,&unconsciousness,.No reports of death due to real poison.But higher animals of the frog family do give out poison which is fatal.

Answer 6

Froggies do not have teeth to bite. They have a fast, long, sticky tongue to catch insects. The only harm they can do to you is some of them secrete poison!

I have touched these tiny "poisonous" frogs (blue jean frog) of Costa Rica, but nothing happened. As long as you wash your hands thoroughly before eating or touching your eyes, you should be ok.

Answer 8

They probably do bite, but it won't hurt - they have no teeth.

They have killed many, many people - some secrete poison through gland in their skin. Ever heard of poison arrow frogs? They used to be used by tribes to coat arrows with poison. And if you eat one, well...say your prayers.

And of course they're predators. They've killed lots of bugs.

Answer 9

Yes, as an Englishman I can tell you all that the Frogs indeed bite. Especially those people that try to make them bathe everyday and use deoderant.

Answer 10

Frogs don't have teeth, so they don't bite. They catch insects with their sticky tongue and swallow them whole.
But there are toads that have a toxic substance on their skin that can kill people (but only if you lick them).
