Frog-eating bats, Trachops cirrhosus, use several methods to capture frogs. The prey also uses 

 strategics to avoid the bats. Experiments were performed with trained bats using recordings and 

 living frogs. The bat may avoid poisonous toads; they use small protrusions around the mouth called 

 dermal denticles that may sense the toad's poison. Smilisca sila has an interesting array of strategies 

 to avoid the bats.
