Mecanismos de defensa, Bosque Atlántico, Serpiente, AnuraResumen
Los anfibios presentan diferentes mecanismos de defensa contra la depredación. Aquí reportamos un caso de depredación no exitosa por parte de Philodryas patagoniensis sobre Leptodactylus sp. asociado a una defensa a través de un comportamiento de tanatosis.
