Cool Facts About Animals - Golden Poison Dart Frog

Golden Poison Dart Frog

06/23/19 • 19 min

Happy Summer! On this episode, we are talking about a sunny-colored frog, which happens to be one of the most toxic animals in the world – the golden poison dart frog. We discuss the difference between venomous and toxic, how many humans one of these tiny frogs can kill with one touch, and their surprisingly social nature. Plus: can you guess which sound comes from a poison dart frog? (Jaguar does a pretty good imitation!)
