I am sometimes a bit of a nit-picker, so naturally I note that in the text above the newly discovered frog is described once as "poisonous" and once as "venemous." My understanding of the difference between these two terms is that "venomous" refers to creatures which deliver a toxic substance, referred to as "venom," through a bite or scratch, etc.; and "poisonous" refers to anything which contains or exudes some sort of "poison"; a toxic substance which is usually ingested or absorbed through skin or some other membrane. So living creatures can be venemous or poisonous (generally as a defense mechanism), but plants can also be poisonous, whereas only animals are venemous. I'm not sure this is accurate though. Someone please correct me if they know better. This is great to hear, as it seems amphibians are in dire straits in many areas where they once thrived.
