The skin of a frog is water permeable. Frogs often do not drink through their mouths, but rather absorb moisture through their skin. In some species, the skin has glands that produce toxins to repel predators. These toxins are being researched for potential pain medications. All frogs regularly shed their skin, but most eat the shed skin for nutrition and water.
