The five governments said their findings were based on analyses of samples from Navalny's body, which they said "conclusively" confirmed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America and not found naturally in Russia.
MSM reporting is a bit confusing - they didn't say the toxin was extracted from a literal frog, it was probably synthesized in a Russian state research institute, as OSINT people found a published paper on its synthesis:
Scientific paper on synthesis of epibatidine, the toxin that was reportedly used to kill Alexei Navalny. Published in 2013, authors are from GosNIIOKHT, the vey same institute where Novichok was developed back in 1970is
