poisonous frog species

Poisonous frog species produce toxins in their skin that can cause harm or illness to predators or humans if touched or ingested. These toxins are a defense mechanism evolved to deter predators, and their potency varies among species. Many of these frogs acquire their toxins from their diet, such as certain insects, rather than producing them directly. Notable examples include the golden poison frog and dart frogs. Despite their bright colors warning of danger, some species are endangered due to habitat loss. It's important to observe these frogs safely and avoid handling them to prevent skin irritation or toxin transfer.
