The poison dart frog is a small, brightly colored amphibian found mainly in the rainforests of Central and South America. These frogs are known for their vibrant hues, which can range from yellow to blue. Their striking colors serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity. The frogs get their poison from the insects they eat, making them one of the most toxic animals on Earth.
Despite their dangerous nature, poison dart frogs are fascinating creatures. They are often kept in captivity, where they lose their toxicity due to a different diet. These frogs are also popular in the pet trade, but they require specific care to thrive in a home environment.
