Green Poison Dart Frog
The Green Poison Dart Frog is a small, brightly colored amphibian found primarily in the rainforests of Central America and South America. These frogs are known for their vibrant green skin, which can sometimes have black spots. They typically measure about 1 to 2 inches in length and are often found near water sources, where they breed and lay their eggs.
These frogs are named for the toxic secretions on their skin, which indigenous people historically used to poison the tips of their blow darts for hunting. The toxicity varies among species, and their bright coloration serves as a warning to potential predators about their poisonous nature.
