A female alligator newt lays just one egg at a time. The alligator newt has toxic skin secretions. When grabbed, it's sharp rib tips poke through the glands on the sides of its body, and the toxin is injected straight into the attacker. - Ashleigh Lim SiQi]]> 2018-01-30 13:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/yap_joo_koon/3Si_Amphibians/wish/226063823 Giant Marine Toad https://padlet.com/yap_joo_koon/3Si_Amphibians/wish/226076065 The giant marine toad averages ten inches in length.

Cane toads have poison that can kill animals that try eating them. It lays from 4,000 to 36,000 eggs at a time in the water.  Tadpoles hatch from the eggs within about three days. As tadpoles, cane toads eat algae and other plants that grow in water. Cane toad tadpoles change, into fully formed frogs in 12 to 60 days.

The salamander starts out in a larval stage. It must be in water to survive until it develops into the adult salamander form, which takes from 60 to 90 days. Young salamanders eat the larvae of insects that share the water, as well as small animals they find around the edges of their pond.
