Dendrobates auratus (commonly known as the green and black poison dart frog, mint-green poison dart frog, or reticulated poison dart frog) is a species of poison dart frog native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. An average species in size, toxicity, and coloration, D. auratus was considered to be a symbol of luck to the native people of its area. Common in suitable habitat, it is considered to be near threatened due to the logging of some of its breeding areas. It is commonly kept in zoos for research, and also valued as a pet.
