The poison dart frog

These tiny frogs are beautiful, but can be extremely toxic. And even though they’re not afraid to stand their ground, humans do pose a threat to their habitat

AN ANIMAL’S size isn’t necessarily an indication of how dangerous it is. After all, poison dart frogs are minute, yet some of these frogs are among the most toxic creatures on Earth. They come in virtually all imaginable colour combinations; however this isn’t about beauty, but rather it’s designed to warn: “Hey! I’m here and I’m poisonous, so don’t even think of eating me!”
