Phyllobates Terribilis: The Terrible One​

There’s a reason the Golden Poison Frog’s scientific name is Phyllobates terribilis - it’s terrifying! Even though it is only approximately five centimeters long, it is thought to be the most poisonous vertebrate on earth. Normally, frogs of its size try to use camouflage to hide from larger predators, but this frog has no need to blend in. Instead, the frogs happily hop around the forest, wearing their bright golden yellow skin as a warning vest to alert other animals about their toxicity so they don’t get too close. ​
