What are two ways in which amphibians protect themselves from predators?

It has no real defense, so it probably just runs/swims away, although some frogs are poisonous and can secrete poison through their skin when bitten. If they survive the initial bite, that is.
- camouflage
- color
- poison
- noise
- tries to makes itself bigger
- it bites
- hops away
any of these could be how a frog protects itself depending on the species.
Some camouflage into their environment, other have glands that secrete distasteful substances that might discourage predators from eating them while other individual frogs produce enough poison to kill hundreds of people.
Frog camouflage may be the easiest to distinguish in the frog survival kit. They are also capable of swimming, diving, and spending extended amounts of time submerged.
They can puff themselves up to appear big, and they can jump into a pond and conceal themselves in the mud at the bottom.

∙ 11y agoFrogs that live in the rain forest are called poison dart frogs because they are poisonous to anyone who touches them. most of the frogs are green in colour so they just merge in their surroundings for example in the bushes because they are green too.................i
hope this helps:-)

∙ 13y agoMany frogs are poisonous, and/or taste bad. They advertise this fact to their predators through the use of colors on their skin.
Some frogs camoflauge themselves by having skin colour similar to their surroundings. eg Green tree frog has the colour of a leaf.
Some frogs mimic the colours of a poisonous frog, to trick their predators into thinking they are poisonous.
Finally, frogs may jump or swim away when they think a predator is after them.
