Why is the poison dart frog in danger?
Poison dart frogs are beautiful creatures that can kill but out of 240 species only 3 are capable of killing humans. The poison dart frogs inhabit the tropical and humid climates of Central and Southern America. They require about 80 - 100 percent humidity and a day time temperature between 72 °F - 80 °F, while the nighttime temperature should not fall below 60 °F. They usually live on the ground, though they are also known to live high in the trees, sometimes even as high as 33ft off the ground.

The poison dart frogs are a critically endangered species. As it is, the poison dart frogs have a small lifespan in the wild, ranging between 1 to 3 years. To top it, loss of habitat due to logging, deforestation and farming has severely eroded their population numbers. Predation by other species is also a highly ranked threat for their survival. But the worst killer of the poison dart frogs is a fungal disease known as 'cutaneous chytridiomycosis'. This infectious skin disease is fatal for all amphibians and by that count, even the poison dart frogs.

According to the Global Amphibian Assessment, around 28% of 234 known species of poison dart frogs are now threatened with extinction. The main threats to these frogs' survival are the same as for other tropical frogs, which are further discussed in the Amphibian Declines article. And that is why it sounds logical to try to protect them in the context of the rest of amphibian species.
Why are poison dart frog's skin bright color?
The Blue Poison Dart Frog is a small frog with bright blue coloring. Its back and top of the head are a lighter-colored sky blue, while its belly and legs are a darker blue color. Dark blue and black spots cover the frog's body, primarily its back and head. The sexes are similar in appearance, with females being slightly larger than males.

What differentiates a poison from a remedy?
The primary difference between a poison and a remedy lies in dosage and context. A substance can act as a poison when consumed in excessive amounts or when it is harmful to the body, while the same substance may serve as a remedy in smaller, controlled doses that promote healing or alleviate symptoms. Additionally, the intended use and the body's response play crucial roles in determining whether a substance is considered beneficial or harmful.
What is a poision dart frogs lifestyle?
Poison dart frogs, primarily found in Central and South America, lead a diurnal lifestyle, being most active during the day. They inhabit humid tropical rainforests, where they thrive in the leaf litter and vegetation. Their diet mainly consists of small insects, which contribute to their toxicity; the more toxic species acquire alkaloids from their prey. These frogs are known for their vibrant colors, which serve as a warning to potential predators about their poisonous nature.

What threats does the blue poison dart frog face?
Poison dart frogs face many threats, mostly the ones common to all rainforest amphibians. First of all, habitat loss. Humans have destroyed so much rainforest, leaving little to no space for animals like the blue poison frog. Second, introduced amphibians. Many endemic forest frogs are being endangered by introduced species like the European common frog and American bullfrog. These species are immune to a fungal disease that they are spreading around the world- chytridiomycosis- that is killing of endemic amphibian species. Third, pollution and climate change. Animals like poison frogs need clean water and air- something that naturally occurs in a rainforest, but is disappearing as we pollute the Amazon and the areas around it. They are also very adapted to specific conditions- ones that are not supposed to change as rapidly as they are now. Regardless, there are some natural threats such as predators and competing species, but those are expected.
