Shocking truth about it

The yellow poisonous frog likely refers to the Golden Poison Dart Frog (Phyllobates terribilis), one of the most toxic creatures on Earth. Found in the rainforests of Colombia, this tiny amphibian may look stunning with its vibrant golden-yellow skin, but it carries a deadly secret.

Why You Should Avoid It

Extreme Toxicity

The Golden Poison Dart Frog's skin is coated with batrachotoxin, a potent toxin that can disrupt nerve and muscle function, leading to paralysis or even death. Just 2 micrograms of this toxin is enough to kill a human or several small animals.

Bright Warning Color

Its vivid yellow (or sometimes orange or green) coloration serves as a natural warning to predators, signaling its danger. This form of defense is known as aposematism, which deters potential threats.

Indigenous Use

Indigenous peoples have historically used the frog’s toxins to coat the tips of their blow darts for hunting, which is where the species gets its name.
