Phyllobates aurotaenia

Phyllobates aurotaenia, commonly known as the golden poison dart frog, is a small amphibian native to the rainforests of Colombia. It has bright yellow or gold skin, which serves as a warning to predators about its potent toxicity. This frog's skin contains batrachotoxin, one of the most toxic natural substances, which indigenous people have historically used to poison the tips of their blow darts for hunting. While captivating in appearance, this frog should be respected as a significantly dangerous species, highlighting the incredible yet perilous nature of biodiversity in tropical ecosystems.
