(Dyscophus antongilii)
Females are much larger than males,reaching up to 10.5 cm and 230 g in weight (6.5 cm and 41 g for males).Tomato frogs live up to their name by possessing a vibrant,orange-red colour.Females are much larger than males and have brighter tones of red or orange on their back,with a pale undersurface.Some individuals also have black spots on the throat.It is thought that the brilliant colours of the tomato frog act as a warning to potential predators that these frogs are toxic;a white substance secreted from the skin acts as a glue to deter predators (such as colubrid snakes) and can produce an allergic reaction in humans.
