mimic poison frog
Ranitomeya imitator
The mimic poison dart frog is a small, brightly colored frog from the tropical forests of Peru. It mimics the coloration of other poison dart frogs so that predators leave it alone.
The mimic poisonous froglet differs by precise mimicry of the coloration of other frogs in the same region. It helps control the number of insects in the forest and shows how toxicity and bright colors protect animals.
