golden poison frog
Phyllobates terribilis
47
The terrible leaf frog is a small bright yellow frog from the rainforests of Colombia. It is considered one of the most poisonous animals on the planet.
The terrible poison dart frog has the most potent venom among all frogs. The venom helps it defend against predators. The species is important for balancing insects in the forest and for scientific research on medicines.
