Blue Poison Dart Frog

Description Blue Poison Dart Frogs are small (about two inches long) and bright blue. They have spots. Their skin is covered in a foul-tasting poison that is so strong it can kill a predator. No two frogs look the same. Diet In the rainforest, Blue Poison Dart Frogs mainly eat insects such as caterpillars, ants and beetles. They can also eat anthropods, small animals with an exoskeleton . Habitat Blue Poison Dart Frogs are mainly found in South America. They live in warm, humid areas of the rainforest in Surinam and, being amphibians, need to be near a source of water such as a stream. Though they can climb trees, they can usually be found on the ground. Adaptations The Blue Poison Dart Frog's bright blue skin acts as a warning to predators not to eat it, else be poisoned. Their sticky skin keeps them moist and enables their tadpoles to cling to them when they move between locations. Learn more about the Blue Poison Dart Frog in this video
