Poison dart frogs, as their name suggests, secrete a poison through their skin. The poison functions like an acid, seeping through skin and affecting neural activity. As a result of their powerful poison, the frogs have no animal predators (except for humans).

Sadly, the poison dart frog is threatened by a fungus called chytrid fungus, which may be the only living thing that lives on poison dart frogs. The fungus blocks the frog's skin, suffocating it. Poison dart frogs are now extinct in the wild.
