It is hard to say which animal would get this prize. A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins. Usually, these toxins are used for defense, and are stored in the skin or in special glands. Compare these creatures to venomous animals, which deliver their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting.\n\nPoisonous creatures don't intend to hurt other creatures, which is why they have bright colors and markings that send a clear message: "Don't touch!" If a predator ignores that warning, he might not get a second chance. One swallow, or even a little taste testing, and it's all over. The toxin will stop the heart or lungs from working, and death will follow.\n\nThe poison arrow frog and certain salamanders would have to top most people's list of "The World's Most Poisonous Animals." Just two micrograms of toxin from the poison arrow frog is enough to kill a human. A "microgram" is a very small amount. The ink in the period at the end of this sentence will weigh around six micrograms.\n\nWhat about venomous animals? A good example of defense can be found in stonefish. They store their toxin in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators. This homely creature will win no beauty prize, but deserves honor and respect for being "The World's Most Venomous Fish."\n\nToxins also are designed to kill prey or, at least, slow them down. This is the tactic used by many snakes. The prize for "The World's Most Venomous Snake" goes to the inland taipan of Australia. But the top prize, "The World Most Venomous Animal," should go to the box jellyfish, which is found in the waters around Asia and Australia. They have long tentacles with stings at the very ends.\n\nHospitals often carry medicines that work against venom, but treatment has to be very fast to counteract the toxins of these prize-winning creatures

Huh?\n\nIt sounds like a joke.  He was caught in California, Arizona AND New Mexico?\n\nI'm not even sure I believe it.

hey i am not sure whether this is the right answer....but it was worth a try....\n\n \nRana pipiens, also known as the northern leopard frog, is a very important frog in the ecosystem. The northern leopard frog is a key animal in the food web. Frogs are more important to human survival and our current way of life than you may think! Frogs are so important that ecologists consider them to be bioindicators. In other words, scientists consider the health of a frog population to be a reflection of the health of the entire ecosystem (Encarta, 2001).\n\nDistribution\nThe northern leopard frog, R. pipiens, is common in North America, inhabiting twenty-six states and much of Canada (see adjacent map).\n\nHabitat\nRana pipiens live in a wide range of habitat, from open water and marshes to deserts and mountains (Frogs.org, 2000-2001).\n\nPhysical Characteristics\nThe northern leopard frog is medium in size, averaging from two to five inches long. They are green, brown, or both and have large dark irregular spots covering the dorsal part of their body (NPWRC, 2001). The skin covering R. pipiens is moist and smooth, and contains glands that secrete mucus in order to keep the skin from drying out. Northern leopard frogs also have glands in their skin that secrete poisons, which are strong enough to help them escape from their predators but are not harmful to humans (Encarta, 2001). Rana pipiens have eyes that are very keen, helping them not only capture prey but also to identify danger in their surroundings (Encarta, 2001). The northern leopard frog also has very powerful hind legs which are the main source of power in swimming and jumping. Also useful in swimming are the frog's webbed hind feet (Frog, 2001).\n\nFood and Feeding\nThe diets of tadpoles and froglets differ from those of adult R. pipiens, with the young consuming herbivory such as algae as well as microscopic animals. Adults feed largely on insects, but also slugs, snails, and smaller vertebrates such as chorus frogs (Harding 156-157 and Donegan, 1996).\n\nRelationship to other organisms in the ecosystem\nRana pipiens are common prey of birds such as herons, reptiles such as snakes, and mammals (including humans) (Donegan, 1996). Rana pipiens play an important role to humans. Besides being a source of food, frogs are used at every stage in their life for scientific study (Donegan, 1996). Furthermore, frogs play a key role in integrative pest management, eating agriculturally destructive insects.\n\nReproduction\nCopulation occurs in the water between March and June. The females release eggs while swimming and the male, who attaches himself to the female with specialized thumbs, fertilizes the eggs. The fertilized eggs are then attached to either underwater plant material or simply placed on the bottom of the pond (Frogs.org, 2001). Each female lays up to 3,000 eggs, which hatch 10-20 days after fertilization (Rasmussen, 2001).\n\nDevelopment and Lifespan\nThe frog life cycle (shown to the left) is fairly simple. The frogs begin their lives as eggs, which are laid in clumps. When the eggs hatch the baby frogs are tadpoles and do not have limbs or lungs, like the adult frog. The tadpole undergoes metamorphosis, growing hind legs first, then front legs, and at the same time, developing a well defined head. The gills are replaced with lungs as the froglet adapts to life on land. On land the frog continues to lose its tail and grow in size. Rana pipiens reach sexual maturity in two or three years (Encarta, 2001).\n\nBehavior\nRana pipiens are mostly nocturnal. Rana pipiens travel far distances away from water, but they must return to breed. In order to escape predators the northern leopard frog leaps into the water and buries itself in the mud or, if on land, takes several jumps into the air and then dives under vegetation for cover (Harding, 157). During the winter months northern leopard frogs hibernate.\n\nCommunication\nThe male northern leopard frog uses his croak to att

I know!! It's the golden toad! Here is a source! It lives in high-altitude tropical forests of Costa Rica. Extinct since 1989.  Picture is on wikipedia (see source).

I love it when Jenny's on top!  But enough of that!\n\nI would focus on the geography of Arizona.  It is one of the few states that has pine-tree forests, high altitude grasslands (think African plains), deserts, lakes, mountains and rivers.  Flagstaff is the highest city in the US!  (8000 ft.)  Not to mention the obvious stuff like the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, and Sedona.  The Sonora Desert in the southern part of the state is truly one of a kind in all of the world.  Wildlife is abundant.  We have mountain lions, bears, wild turkey, elk, deer, rattlesnakes, loads of insects and spiders, all kinds of fish, and even mountain goats and parrots.  Arizona is even getting famous for some local wines.  Here are some good websites for info:

most likely fish, or another animal that lives in water, perhaps an early reptile

maybe it's a chigger a red chigger. they usually live in wooded areas but maybe you picked it op outside somewhere.

Are you talking about some kind of reptile?

Never saw it before.  Thanks I bookmarked it.  At first I thought it was from Iraq but soon I recognized it as the Arizona desert.

I would assume that you're speaking of an Amazonian frog in the rainforests of South America. Although, currently hermaphroditic frogs have been linked with pesticide usage. My suggestion would be to search some website like National Geographic or a university's zoology department. \n\nHave fun searching, and you could always borrow the dvd off someone.

The Pituco. I guess Pituco is some kind of nick name or something like that. Be Blessed!

Every answer so far has been wrong. I really wish people wouldn't just guess at the answers to get points.\n\nThere is a species of saltwater amphibian , but just barely. The crab eating frog of south east Asia  commonly lives in mangrove estuaries. It can survive and even breed in brackish water without diffciulties. \n\nIt can and does occasionally venture into water with salt levels equivalent to  the open ocean, but prolonged exposure dehydrates it and must retreat to fresher water to rehydrate every few hours.\n\nCrocodiles and turtles aren't amphibians. They are freakin' reptiles. They've got scales for pity's sake.

di correct name 4 it is just walla wasp! i am a jamaican and ever since that reptile is know has "walla wasp"

I think that is a question but have no idea what you are asking. I understand frog and lake but have no idea what "aloop" is. it needs clarification if you intend to get an answer

"The state names of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Montana and Florida are Spanish"\n\nTranslations:\n\nCalifornia = "The name is thought to have derived from the mythical paradise of Calafia portrayed in Amadís de Gaula, a 16th century Spanish romance by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo, which in the book was a difficult to reach land with gold in plenty, free-loving amazons living in caves, and strange beasts.\n\nSome suggest that the word California may come from the early Spanish explorers who entered California via the hot southern regions and referred to California as being "hot as an oven" (cali > hot, fornia > oven). It may be derived from caliente fornalia, Spanish for hot furnace, or it may come from calida fornax, Latin for hot climate."\n\nArizona = "Spanish words "árida zona" ("arid zone")."\n\nNew Mexico = "New Mexico (Spanish: Nuevo México or, in full, Santa Fe de Nuevo México; alternatively, Nuevo Méjico) was a province of New Spain that existed from the late 16th century up through the early 19th century. It was centered on the upper valley of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte), in an area that included most of the present-day U.S. state of New Mexico, with borders extending in the present-day states of Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. Its capital was Santa Fe."\n\nColorado = "The state was named after the Spanish word "Colorado," which means "reddish colored" that presumably refers to the red sandstone formations in the area or reddish brown color of the Colorado River."\n\nNevada = "shortened from Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "snowy range")."\n\nMontana = "derived from the Spanish word montaña ("mountain")."\n\nFlorida = "Juan Ponce de León, a Spanish conquistador, named this new land in honor of his "discovery" of the land on April 2, 1513, during Pascua Florida, which is a Spanish term for the Easter season. From that date forward, the land became known as "La Florida." (Juan Ponce de León may not have been the first European to reach Florida. At least one of the Indians that he encountered in Florida in 1513 could speak Spanish.)"
