Toadskin Spell

0%
13 mars 1994

Looks at the extraordinary properties of frog and toad skin, showing how it enables them to survive hostile environments. Amphibian skin contains many chemical compounds, including antibiotics, fungicides, anti-viral agents and toxins, which serve as built-in barriers against infection and protection from predators. Scientists in America have even identified an anti-cancer agent in the skin of certain amphibians.

The programme features toad and frog species from Britain and the continents of Africa, America, Asia and Australia.
