Key facts and Creature Moments[]
- Poison dart frogs are brightly coloured to warn predators that they are poisonous.
- Poison frogs produce their poison by eating insects and invertebrates that have poisonous chemicals that get into a poison frog’s special poison glands in its skin.
- The brighter the poison frog is in colour, the more poisonous its skin is.
- Some poison dart frogs are so toxic they can kill predators just by being touched.
- Poison frogs are good parents that carry their baby tadpoles up trees into bromeliad leaf pools so they can develop safely away from predators.
