The golden poison frog is considered one of the most toxic animals on Earth. A single specimen measuring two inches has enough venom to kill ten grown men. The indigenous Emberá people of Colombia have used its potent venom for centuries to tip their blowgun darts when hunting, hence the species' name.

 

Colouring and Diet

Their coloring, which can be a yellow frog, orange frog, or pale green, depending on their particular range is deliberately ostentatious to ward off potential predators, a tactic called aposematic coloration. Their diet includes flies, crickets, ants, termites, and beetles.

 

Poison Dart Frog Population

These brightly colored amphibians are among the largest of the more than 100 poison dart frog species, averaging more than one inch in length. They live within a tiny plot of rain forest on the Pacific coast of Colombia. And though the population in its small the range is abundant, widespread decimation of the rain forest has landed this species on international endangered lists.

Toxicity

Scientists are unsure of the source of this frog's surprising toxicity, but they may assimilate plant poisons, which are carried by their prey. Poison dart frogs raised in captivity and isolated from insects in their native habitat never develop venom.

The medical research community has been exploring possible medicinal uses for the golden poison frog's toxins. They have already developed a synthetic version of one of the poison's compounds that has promise as a powerful painkiller.
