Corroboree frog

Corroboree frogs (/kəˈrɒbəri/ kuh-ROB-uh-ree), namely the southern corroboree frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) and the northern corroboree frog (P. pengilleyi), are two critically-endangered species of terrestrial frog in the family Myobatrachidae, native to the Southern Tablelands of Australia. They are unique among frogs in that they produce their own poison instead of retaining toxic alkaloids from their prey (such as formid acid in ants and certain beetles), am adaptation seen in most other poisonous frog species, such as the Dendrobates or Oophaga of Latin America.
