Frog Brain Replica

Description

Frog brain replica measures 1.8 x 1.2 x 0.4 inches. The Rana temporaria brain is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a CAS specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.

Old English roots define the term frog and highlight the amphibious nature of these vertebrates. Adult frogs have a stout body with protruding eyes and an anteriorly-attached tongue. Limbs typically fold underneath the body while the animal lacks a true tail.

Glandular skin produces secretions ranging from distasteful to toxic  deterring potential predators. This skin serves as a primary defense mechanism protecting them against various threats in natural habitats.

Frogs generally lay eggs in water to produce aquatic larvae known as tadpoles. These larvae have internal gills and tails for underwater locomotion.
