Dendrobatidae

Dendrobatidae, commonly known as poison dart frogs, are a family of brightly colored frogs native to Central and South America. They are renowned for their striking appearance and potent skin toxins, which serve as a defense against predators. These toxins can vary in strength, with some species being highly poisonous, while others are less so. The vibrant colors often act as a warning sign to potential predators. Dendrobatids are also interesting for their complex reproductive behaviors, including parental care, and their vibrant appearance makes them popular in the exotic pet trade and scientific research.
