amnhnyc: Found in Central and South America, dart-poison frogs like this blue dart-poison frog, Dendrobates tinctorius, are mostly diurnal—that is, active during the day. Found in forests of Venezuela and Suriname, these cobalt beauties are tiny—less than 2 inches in length. They are also poisonous—oozing toxins out of skin glands. By eating invertebrates like mites, spiders, beetles, and ants, dart-poison frogs in the wild obtain certain alkaloids which they transform into those toxins. Meanwhile, in Frogs: A Chorus of Colors, the dart-poison frogs are fed a different, non-toxin-creating diet, one of fruit-flies, bean beetles, and crickets.
