Poison dart frog
A green and black poison dart frog (Dendrobates auratus) perched on a mossy log, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. When disturbed, the frogs can excrete toxic alkaloids that, when injected (e.g., via an arrow head), can cause paralysis and convulsions. The toxins are not active when ingested by mouth.
