Poison Arrow Frogs Facts
Be aware of species with very bright colors! This is a trademark characteristic of Poison Arrow Frogs and many other toxic species. It’s also a natural mechanism to warn predators to stay away.
- The ultra bright colors of the poison arrow frogs are a warning to predators.
- Numerous amphibians generate toxic compounds through the glands and carry trace amounts of poison on the external parts of their bodies. Poison arrow frogs such as the Blue Poison Arrow frog produces poison that is strong enough to severally damage human beings.
- Native tribesman in Columbia utilize ancient techniques that collect the poison from the frogs. After collecting the poison they lace their arrow tips with the poison and create a powerful weapon that can poison prey with or use against rival tribes.
- In lesser amounts, the poison from Arrow Frogs can be used on humans for its muscle relaxant properties.
- Poison Arrow Frog females lay eggs on land in damp areas. The males then guard the eggs until they hatch and become tadpoles. The babies then crawl onto the backs of their fathers while the father searches for water. Once the father finds suitable amount of water, he shakes the babies off his back and from that point on they are on their own.
