The amphibian room: poison frogs, axolotls and the frog rescue, sentence 1
Zoo-bred dart frogs are harmless, because their poison comes from the ants and mites they eat in the wild, yet the keeper still wears gloves, this time to protect the frog's thin, damp skin, which it partly breathes through.
Who acts: bred dart frogs, poison, frogs, keeper · What happens: breed, be, come, eat, wear, protect · To what, where: ants, wild, gloves, thin damp skin
