Description
The Dendrobatidae family of frogs makes up a group of about 75 different species of poison dart frogs; each characterized by different coloring and behavioral patterns. Poison dart frogs are found in Central and South America.
Poison dart frogs make their home on the moist floor of the tropical rain forests.
Poison dart frogs are conspicuously colorful, their bright colors warning predators about the toxic poisons that exude from their skins. Different species of dart frogs sport varying colors. For example, the species Dendrobates granuliferus is red and black, Dendrobates auratus is green and black, Dendrobates histrionicus is orange and black, and Dendrobates leucomelas can be yellow or orange and black. Most species of poison dart frogs are bright red, orange, yellow, or green and black. However, some species without toxic poisons are usually very dull in color.
Photographed in the wild, I saw several of these in the jungle near Capurgan�, Choc�, Colombia. Though they blend in extremely well with the green vegetation and dark earthy colors of the ground below, I managed to see several of these in the jungle near Capurgan�, Choc�, Colombia.
