abstract
  • The golden frog is found only in isolated regions of Panama. It's bright colour warns predators that it is toxic. Scientists believe that a major cause of its decline is climate change. During drought years, the frogs are forced into overcrowded wet areas, which lead to fatal diseases. The Golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis), also known as the golden frog, golden poison arrow frog, or golden dart frog, is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is endemic to the Pacific coast of Colombia. The optimal habitat of Phyllobates terribilis is the rainforest with high rain rates (5 m or more per year), altitudes between 100 and 200 m, temperatures of at least 26°C, and relative humidity of 80–90%. In the wild, Phyllobates terribilis is a social animal, living in groups of up to six individuals; however, captive Phyllobates terribilis specimens can live in much larger groups. These frogs are often considered innocuous due to their small size and bright colors, but wild frogs are lethally toxic, and may be the most poisonous of any living animal.
