A tomato frog really looks sort of like a tomato.
Tomato Frog (Dyscophus guineti) in the Toronto Zoo Africa exhibit.
Tomato Frogs come from Madagascar, they like to burrow into the ground. Tomato frogs secret a disgusting sticky substance when harassed.
Some people like to keep a Tomato frog as a pet even though they don’t like to be petted and will release that sticky substance if someone handles them, so constant hand washing aroudn a tomato frog is highly recommended.
