Profiles of enzymatic activity of poisons from dorsal warts (W) and parotoids (P) in the four species studied. (a) gelatinolytic activity. (b) fibrinogenolytic activity, (c) caseinolytic activity and (d) hyaluronidase activity. Activity was detected against gelatine (a) and fibrinogen (b) and is present only in the poison extracted from dorsal warts (arrows). Legends: Rhinella icterica (Ri), Rhinella jimi (Rj), Rhinella marina (Rm) and Rhinella schneideri (Rs)
