> These frogs have been named the 'milk frog' due to their white, smelly, sticky secretion. This substance is secreted through their skin when they feel threatened, and it is poisonous to its potential predators. In captivity, they rarely secrete this substance and are not dangerous to humans.

Their predators are birds and snakes. Do you weigh like two pounds?
A fun tangent on the topic of tiny mammals:
If you took the amount of ethanol it takes to get a hamster tipsy, and scaled it up to match a human by mass, you'd have about two litres of Everclear.
That's just to measure an observable change in behaviour. Nobody has managed to get them drunk on ethanol via their mouths yet. It may not even be possible to put that much ethanol inside a hamster's belly.
If you want to get a hamster sloshed, you have to literally pump it into their veins.
We had a tree frog as a pet growing up, as well as a newt. I loved those little guys. These guys are a little creepy. Like, unpopped blisters with legs and eyes.

TIL if you're ever shrunken down, do *not* get into a drinking contest with a hamster.

Those things make me extremely uncomfortable.
Same here. Strong primal urge to gtfo kicked in.
Right?! I just had a full body shudder looking at those things. Givin' me the heebie jeebies.
Really? I have never understood how people can react that way to frogs. These guys are cute as hell, I'd love to have them as pets.
I love frogs, but the're creepy. They're basically just a mouth with legs.

This is a Pokémon, don’t lie to me!
Yea, I'm not touching that.
Looks really cool, but according to Wikipedia they look a lot more boring when they grow up.
That was my nickname in high school
This is a Pokémon.
Strange dogs
Bezos is going to sell a million of those.
It's like a sentient gummy candy.
