dart frog
Fact FileDart frogs are very small and colourful and are venerable looking to most predators. Their skin looks very bright and colourful and a lot of people have made a lethal mistake by touching its toxic skin that can kill in minuets. The venom that they have on their skin can cause muscle paralysis and strong muscle contractions and convulsions, salivation and death. But surprisingly some tribes in the rainforest rub the tips of darts on the frogs to create venomous darts for hunting prey. Dart frogs come in many different colours depending on what habitat they live in and some are more venomous than others. The venom is so powerful it can kill 10 men.
