poisonous frogs
Poisonous frogs, often known as poison dart frogs, are small, brightly colored amphibians found mainly in tropical rainforests. Their vibrant colors serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity. These frogs produce potent toxins in their skin, which they acquire from their diet, primarily consisting of ants and termites.
The toxins of some species, like the golden poison dart frog, can be lethal to humans and animals. Despite their danger, these frogs play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling insect populations. Conservation efforts are essential to protect their habitats from deforestation and climate change.
