Real-Life Poison Dart Tucumumaque Frog:
The poison dart frog (Dendrobatidae) is a group of small, brightly colored frogs found in Central and South America, including the Tumucumaque region in Brazil. Known for their vivid colors, these frogs use their appearance as a warning to potential predators, signaling the toxic chemicals in their skin. Poison dart frogs get their name from the indigenous peoples who used the frogs' toxins to coat their blow darts for hunting. Despite their small size, their toxins can be potent. These frogs primarily feed on ants, termites, and other small insects, and their toxicity is linked to their diet. In captivity, poison dart frogs lose their toxicity as they no longer consume toxic prey.
