Golden Poison Frog

The Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis) is one of the most toxic animals on Earth. Native to the rainforests of Colombia, it mesmerizes with its bright yellow skin that serves as a warning to predators.

This tiny creature packs a potent toxin known as batrachotoxin which can be lethal to touch. The indigenous Emberá people have used its venom to tip their blowgun darts for hunting.
