Strawberry Poison Dart Frog
The Strawberry Poison Dart Frog is a small, brightly colored amphibian found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Its vibrant red body, often adorned with black spots, serves as a warning to predators about its toxicity. These frogs typically measure about 1 to 2 inches in length and are known for their distinctive calls.
These frogs derive their toxicity from their diet, which includes ants and other small insects. In captivity, where their diet is different, they often lose their poisonous properties. The Strawberry Poison Dart Frog plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, helping to control insect populations.
