An Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), also known as the Asian Black-spined Toad or Asian Common Toad, is seen hiding behind a round clay pot at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 21, 2024. The toad's thick, dry skin, cranial ridges, and prominent parotid glands, which secrete a milky white toxin called bufotoxin, make it both well-camouflaged and protected in its environment. In a fun and defensive manner, the toad blends into the background, almost resembling a snail due to its position and coloring. Found throughout South and Southeast Asia, this species is known for its toxic defense mechanism and adaptability.

Poison dart frog (also known as dart-poison frog, poison frog or formerly known as poison arrow frog) is the common name of a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to tropical Central and South America. These species are diurnal and often have brightly colored bodies. This bright coloration is correlated with the toxicity of the species, making them aposematic. Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity, while others have cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity. Many species of this family are threatened due to human infrastructure encroaching on their habitats. These amphibians are often called "dart frogs" due to the Native Americans' use of their toxic secretions to poison the tips of blowdarts. However, out of over 170 species, only four have been documented as being used for this purpose (curare plants are more commonly used for Native American darts) all of which come from the genus Phyllobates, which is characterized by the relatively large size and high levels of toxicity of its members.

Susan Zeier, mother-in-law of SFC Heath Robinson, wears a mask with her son-in-law's dates of birth and death at a press conference condemning Republican Senators for defeating the SFC Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act. The legislation would have eased access to healthcare for veterans and active duty members exposued to toxins via burn pits. The bill originally passed the Senate with 84 votes, but Republican Senators later objected, claiming it contained unrelated spending.
