What Do They Eat?

• Poison dart frogs shoot poison through their nervous system.

• When it hits the skin of a predator, it kills the enemy.

The Poison Dart Frog doesn’t have many predators. The only animal that can kill this frog is an Amazon

ground snake with this long name: Leimadophis epinephelus.

Many poison dart frogs have poisons or toxins through their skin. They are able to be active during the day because other animals don’t want to be poisoned.

• A poison dart weigh about three grams. That would be like three large paper clips.

• The poison dart is in the amphibian family.

• It is cold-blooded.• It has gills at the beginning of its life. Then it has lungs.• It lives in the water and then on land.

• Poison dart frogs stick their tongue on a log and makes the bugs get stuck on the log.

Some are blue with black spots on it. Some are yellow and green, red

and black, or green and black.

There are many different colors of the poison dart frog. The colors warn predators to stay away.
