Question:
Hello,
Do you know of a poisonous toad that tries to be eaten by the snake, and
for the snake to die by its poison, just to have its young inside the
snake. I have heard of this poisonous toad but am desperately looking for
the type so that I can further study it.
Replies:
I can say with confidence that no such animal exists in North America. I am
not an expert on wildlife in other parts of the world but this has the sound
of mythology - I seriously doubt there is such an animal.
