New experiment: Aggressive, aggressive Panama red frogs are more than green frogs

A small experiment showed that the Panamanian red frogs were more aggressive and aggressive than green frogs .

To conclude, the scientists released 100 brilliantly colored poison frogs: 50 green frogs, and 50 Panama red frogs, all taken from the Bocas del Toro archipelago and released. they come into a mustard garden.

The results showed that all 100 frogs jumped and stomped on the mustard plants and especially the Panamanian red frogs were devastatingly fierce, faster than green frogs.

Next, the scientists released the insects, insects into the center of the garden and a new war took place equally fiercely.

Both green frogs and Panama red frogs have quick access to prey, however, red frogs tend to spend more and show signs of shaking their legs and then attack green frogs to occupy their prey, in Meanwhile, green frogs tend to be calm and do not want to scramble.

When the red frog fights, the skin that starts red glows, then rushes to resist the green frogs. After the green frog retreated a certain distance away from the prey, the red frog came to grab the prey in an instant.

When released into the water environment, Panama red frogs tend to show themselves as a good waders, can hunt, insects, microorganisms underwater while the frogs wade slowly and have More trend toward shore.

This experiment shows that the ecological behavior between these two frogs is completely different. One side is a war, one is calm and tends to yield more, one is a good swimmer but one likes to stay dry.

Biological experts say that the behavioral differences between red frogs and Panama green frogs are due to the environment in which these two species live.

Living on the Bocas del Toro Islands, but the area where red frogs live is somewhat harsher, more enemies. Therefore, the ecological behavior of this red frog is still aggressive, and the poison is superior to the green frog for the purpose of adaptive survival.

And genetic factors or purity are not much influenced by the specific ecological behavior between the two frog species above.
