How do frogs kill their prey?

[Ted]

All kinds of things could happen when a frog eats something.i remember watching a nature show once where an African bullfrog sat in front of a hole.Black scorpions starting pouring out of the hole and the frog sat there and gobbled them up one by one.it must of ate at least 4 large scorpions.ive always wondered if the frog survived that.

Usually if the animal is native, and is being eaten by a fellow native, then the predator survives. There are cases where an animal gets sick or gets a parasite and eats things it knows to be dangerous, usually this kills it.

animals such as frogs and snakes that must swallow live animals whole have an extremely strong stomach acid the begins breaking down the prey item immediately after consumption. Frogs usually crush and sufficate their prey. And some frogs ( pixies for example) are immune to such things like (in the case of the pixie frog) scorpions.
