Phyllobates lugubris

Phyllobates lugubris, commonly known as the drab poison dart frog, is a small, vibrant amphibian native to Central America. It has a yellowish-brown body and is known for its potent skin toxins, which serve as a defense against predators. These frogs are typically found in tropical rainforests, where they live on the forest floor or near streams. Despite their striking appearance, they are social and often seen in groups. Their toxins make them dangerous to predators, and they play a vital role in their ecosystem by helping control insect populations.
