Cover photo description:
These amphibians are known as dart frogs because indigenous people use the frogâ€™s poison for blow darts and arrow poison. Â All wild dart frogs secrete toxins through their skin. Â However, captive-hatched frogs and wild ones that have been in captivity for an extended time are not toxic.Â Color shades vary among frogs within a species. It is the skin that contains the frog`s poison.Â These beautiful colors are warnings to potential predators that the frog are poisonous. Several species of non-poisonous frogs evolved with similar coloring to avoid being eaten.
