  Nice Outfit !

    The Harlequin (har-la-kwin) Frog does have a nice skin. It has a lovely design of bright green and black. It lives in the mountains of South America. This frog's bright colors warn us that it is poisonous. Even its eggs contain poison ! It may sound strange, but the eggs are laid in fast running water. The tadpole's mouth is like a suction cup, they suck on rocks to hold on. If they didn't, they would wash downstream. Their suction works so well that herpetologists (her-pet-ol-o-gists) need to pry them off to study them. This froggy is colorful, poisonous, and strong ! What a weird amphibian !
