By foraging actively in leaf litter. They eat small invertebrates such as ants and small beetles. It either hunts it or ambushes it.

they hunt knowing nothing will eat them because of bright colors, and they eat lots of types of bugs.

How do you protect yourself from a dangerous frog?

frog? It's not like a poison dart frog will hop into your shoes but, if you accidentally touch one in the wild, seek medical help right away. Your skin could very irritated if in contact from the poison frogs. Unless you want to hunt like the natives in the Amazon Rain Forest don't go looking for these froggies. The way the natives hunt is by taking the frog and squeezing it's skin just above a dart. They take just enough poison to cover the tip of the dart. Then they put the dart into this sort of tube and they wait for prey. Once they find a good plump hog they blow into one end of the tube to send it flying. The dart pops out the other end of the tube and sticks itself into the animal's hide. Even thought the dart itself is not enough to kill the animal, the poison will. The poison gets into the animal's blood stream and attacks the body killing it.

Why animals at the top of a food chain are particularly at risk from poison in the environment?

This is biological magnification; the concentration of poison in the environment gets higher and higher as it goes up the food chain. The poisons are kept in the bodies of the animals that eat them. They are not broken down or eliminated. So a predator that is higher up the chain gets a lot of the poison from its food. -Shawney M.


How come poision dart frogs have bright colors?

They have bright colors because when a predator tries to eat the frog, the bright colors warn the animal to not eat the dark frog only if it wants to die. That's why bees have bright yellow colors because it warns an animal if it gets close, I will sting you. And sometimes, both the predator and the prey lose because the animal doesn't get the message that the poison dark frog is dangerous, and eats it. The frog loses its live, and the predator may lose it's live too depending on the size of the animal.
