    …and the rainforest frogs that excrete nerve toxins from their skin would jump on your exposed skin and try to paralyse you.

    You only hear dozen little feet going plat plat plat SPLAT.

    …after that you just helplessly stare at the sky till your lungs cease to function.

    We only need a lab studying frogs and we have a movie.

      The issue is you’d really need an evolutionary pressure for them to develop that attack behaviour. It could be defensive, but jumping on the thing you’re trying to fight off is a rather bold strategy, especially when the results aren’t instant. Alternatively, it could be an attack behaviour, allowing them to take down larger prey. Thus just leaves the issue of how the frog would consume its meal. They could probably evolve to swallow smaller prey, but the obvious adaption, which I think we’d see in this case, would be for the frogs to evolve teeth.

        Defensive pack tactics.

        A few members of the frog army do a Kermitkaze on whatever predator is a threat and the rest all escape.

          I had not considered the concept of an army of bipedal, running, neurotoxin coated, suicide frogs, and now that I have, I intend to stay far away from amphibians, just in case. I still think they should each sport a set of human like teeth though, just to really drive the point home.

          Kudos on ‘Kermitkaze’, that gave me a good chuckle.
