Random Facts About Reptiles And Amphibians For Kids

Bush vipers have long, curved fangs that are hollow and hinged. When their mouth is closed, the fangs fold back along the roof of the mouth, then swing forward to strike — a bit like how a cat’s claws stay hidden until they extend!

Poison dart frogs can jump up to 50 times their body length — that would be like you jumping across an entire football field!

Red‑eyed tree frogs have big eyes that help them see all around without needing to turn their heads much.

Poison dart frogs usually take about 2–4 months to grow from an egg into a tiny froglet — but it can take a year or more before they’re full-grown adults!

Bush vipers rarely bite humans because they avoid conflict — most serious bites happen only when they are startled, stepped on, or cornered.
