Our Amazon milk frogs are a firm favourite with our visitors. Found in the Slime area, these amazing animals are commonly found in the tropical rainforests of South America. Their strong muscular hind legs and sticky feet are specially adapted for leaping amongst the trees. The milk frog gets its name from the poisonous milky coloured fluid secreted from its skin when threatened. Hear more about how we care for this species from Aquarist and keeper Lloyd.
