Question
is the pronoun in bold reflexive or intensive?
the west african savanna frog is able to conceal itself in ant colonies thanks to chemicals that coat its skin.
intensive reflexive.
A reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject of the sentence. In this case, "itself" refers back to "The West African savanna frog" (the subject). An intensive pronoun emphasizes the subject but is not essential to the sentence's meaning. Here, "itself" is essential as it shows the frog is doing the action of concealing to itself.
