The dying poison dart frog is a slender, black frog with golden stripes and blue legs and feet. It lives in forests in Amazonia and the Guyanas. It eats ants and termites, and secretes toxic alkaloids from its skin that serve as a defense against predators and come in bright warning colors. The female lays small clutches of 2-10 eggs on leaves or the ground, and the tadpoles develop on the backs of the parents before metamorphosing over 8-12 weeks. While poisonous, these frogs are not currently threatened in the wild, though some species are vulnerable. Their toxins are also being studied for potential medical applications.
