| Resumo | |
Amphibians are generally associated with negative perceptions due to their body characteristics. Among these, Cururu toads from the Rhinella genus are a frequent targets of negative practices. Thus, we gathered information available on internet platforms on the Cururu toad use in cultural manifestations in Brazil. We gathered over 100 records and used this data to calculate the relative and frequency of occurrences between 2007 and 2022. Among the practices, the most frequent was sewing and gluing their mouths shut. Among the states of Brazil, S & atilde;o Paulo and Paran & aacute; had the highest frequency of occurrence, while the states of Amap & aacute; and Paran & aacute; had the highest relative occurrence. We also observed that the Cururu toad use in cultural manifestations remained constant over time and was widespread throughout the country. Based on our findings, we emphasize that environmental education programs should be implemented for the population, aiming to reduce animal abuse in amphibians. (AU) | |
