The strawberry dart frog, scientifically known as Oophaga pumilio, is a small, brightly colored amphibian native to Central America, particularly in rainforests of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It is renowned for its vivid red or orange coloration, often with blue or black markings, which serves as a warning to predators about its toxicity. These frogs are part of the dart frog family, named for the indigenous peoples who used their toxic secretions to tip blow darts. Strawberry dart frogs are also known for their interesting reproductive behavior, where males often guard and care for the eggs and tadpoles.
