scientist say that poison dart frogs get their poison from some of the insects that they eat.

This is caused by their diet in the wild. They eat other poisonous insects which can then be transferred to the frogs skin and become poisonous.

poison frogs get their poison from the toxins of what they eat.

It is from special glands in it's skin that layers the frog with a deadly toxin that can kill. And that's the poison dark frogs defence mechanism. Those bright colors signal to stay away. And bees do the same thing. Since they have bright yellow colors, it signals predators to get away, or I'll sting you.
