POISON DART FROGS Yellow - Phyllobates terribilis Blue - Dendrobates tinctorius azureus ©Laura Quick Their bright color is a dead giveaway to predators to steer clear of this animal. They use their poison only for self-defense, and if bitten by a predator, the toxin also has an awful taste. The golden poison dart frog is the most toxic amphibian, as well as one of the most toxic animals in the world! There is only one species of snake, Liophis epinephelus, that is able to feed on juvenile golden poison dart frogs, but it can only tolerate a smaller amount of poison. Fortunately for these frogs, they are completely immune to their own poison. #poisondartfrogs #poison #frog #©lauraquick #lazoo #glaza #frogsofinstagram #phyllobatesterribilis #dendrobatestinctoriusazureus #losangeleszoo #amphibians #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #anura #endangered #defense https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zSJXqn4_h/?igshid=i18qibodxf34
