Check out this amazing video of a Taricha species get eaten by a Bullfrog and then crawls back out after poisoning the frog!
I didn't know that was even possible! I mean, wouldn't the frogs stomach acids seriously hurt the frog?

Video:

:eek::eek::eek:
 
I have never seen this before! ;)
 
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. A good reminder to take care when handling certain creatures.
 
Looks like it is cut after the frog leaves the water to when he is dead. Death would have had to happen quickly for the salamander to escape, it seems unlikely to me and is mostly likely staged, but I could be wrong. Definitely a cool video though!

Yah, I thought that too maybe, or maybe they didn't want to show the frog dying because that would be too 'scary' for little kids or something.
I don't know, I mean, it climbs out like its unscathed, and if it was in contact with the frogs stomach acids it wouldn't be.
