POISONOUS FROGS AMAZON

POISON DART FROG
The world’s most Poisonous animal is the Poison Dart Frog.Also known as Poison Arrow Frog.Poison dart frog can easily be found in Amazon rainforest in countries of
South America.



Poison dart frogs usually have brightly-coloured slimmy bodies.Usually almost all poisonous animals will tend to demonstrate or show their toxicity with
bright and shiny colours so that would be predators can benefit by avoiding potential harm.


The Golden Poison Dart Frog has enough venom to kill ten strong men in a go or fifteen thousand rats.An adult poison dart frog have a length of two to six centimeters and weigh as lighter as two to six grams.They lay eggs on nearby plants of ponds and allow their young ones (tadpoles) to ride on their backs shortly after they hatch.The young ones are then taken to water and feed even on non-fertilized eggs.The Golden poison dart frog doesn't generate (make) their poisons but they are dependent on protein chemicals obtained from their foods.Mostly from ants,beetles,centipedes and mites.


Golden poison dart frogs that are created in laboratory by scientists don't have the poison.
