dart frog
Poisonous jungle hopper
A dart frog is a small, brightly colored frog native to Central and South American rainforests.
The name comes from indigenous hunters using the frogs' toxic skin secretions to poison blowgun darts.
Their vivid colors—electric blues, oranges, yellows—warn predators of their toxicity.
Also called poison dart frog or poison arrow frog.
