Poison Dart Frogs do not shoot their poison. They are named Dart Frogs because natives in South America used to use them to make the tips of their arrows poisonous.
They're small colorful frogs that in the wild ooze really nasty poison from their skin. They get their name from the natives who've used the frogs to make poison for their poisoned darts.
The poison from a poisonous dart, such as those used by certain frogs or insects, typically comes from specialized glands in the animal's skin or body. When the dart is delivered, the poison is released from these glands, often through a sharp tip or barbed end. In the case of dart frogs, for example, their skin secretes toxins that can be absorbed or transferred to objects they come in contact with. This mechanism allows them to defend themselves against predators effectively.
