The family Dendrobatidae, commonly known as poison dart frogs, consists of small, brightly colored amphibians found primarily in tropical rainforests of Central and South America. These frogs are known for their vibrant colors, which serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity. The toxins they produce can be potent, and some indigenous people have historically used them to poison the tips of blow darts for hunting. Dendrobatidae species exhibit a variety of colors and patterns, which can vary significantly between species. They typically inhabit humid environments and are often found near water sources, as they require moist conditions for breeding. Their diet mainly consists of small insects, which contribute to their toxic properties.
