Tree frog

Also, thanks to the bright color, daytime activity, quiet and pleasant trills emitted by woodpeckers, they have become very popular among terrariums.

From batrachotoxin, which is part of the venom of woodpeckers, scientists have been able to isolate a derivative substance - epibatidine, which has analgesic properties 200 times stronger than morphine and is not addictive. However, the therapeutic dose of this drug is very close to the lethal dose [19].

From ancient times the Indians of Central America lubricate the tips of hunting and combat arrows (including wind) with the poison of woodpeckers. The venom of these amphibians is much stronger than curare, and even a light scratch with a poisoned tip can lead to death. Hunters collect poison with fire, holding a frog over a fire. When it begins to emit poison, it is applied to the tips of the arrows.

Some species live in seasonal wet or flooded lowland meadows, arable lands, pastures, rural gardens, plantations, wet savannas and heavily degraded forests [7

They live on the banks of rivers and streams in the rainforests of mountains and lowlands at altitudes from 300 to 2000 m above sea level. Most species spend most of their lives on trees up to 10 m tall, to which they are perfectly adapted, move well on thin branches and even leaves.
