Poison-Arrow Frogs
Status: Locally Common
Poison frogs are widely called poison arrow frogs or poison dart frogs, reflecting the widespread notion that the frogs are used by South American tribes in the manufacture of poison that is spread on arrows or blow-gun darts.
Poison arrow frogs are tiny. There are many different types, all basically black in colour with bright markings of red, green, orange or yellow depending on the species. The bright colours serve as a warning to other animals that their skin is poisonous. The powerful poison affects the muscles and nerves when it enters the blood stream of other animals. Some native Indians have used this poison for their weapons. Poison-arrow frogs are about the size of a man's thumbnail (less than one inch). The tiny frogs lay their eggs on leaves. When the tadpole hatches, it is carried on one of the parents' back to a bromeliad where the parents feed it small insects, ants, spiders, crustaceans, and tiny water animals. The mother frog may also lay infertile eggs as food for the tadpoles.

Its poison is one of the most powerful known and can cause paralysis or death. It is so potent that one millionth of an ounce can kill a dog and an amount smaller than a grain of salt can kill a human. One frog carries enough poison to kill about 100 people. Native hunters use it on the tips of their arrows which is how the frog got its name.
