Golden poison frog — size comparison — facts and sources

The golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis) is a small amphibian of western Colombian humid tropical forests.

Defensive compounds accumulated in its skin come from natural food, linking chemical defence to suitable invertebrates on the forest floor, where it feeds. Uniformly bright adult colouring warns of toxic skin secretions; young have a different pattern.

It eats ants and other small invertebrates. Parents care for offspring, and tadpoles are carried to water.
