TRIVIA

Fact #1: Some of them are very good parents. When the female lays her eggs in a moist place she will allow her tadpoles to cling onto her back and then take them to a source of water where they will undergo metamoprhosis. A few species even feed their tadpoles with unfertilized eggs.

Fact# 2: Although all are toxic, the exact levels vary from species to species.

Fact# 3: The name Poison Dart(Arrow) Frog comes from the use of the frogs secretions for poison blowdarts. Despite all species of Dendrobatidae being grouped under this term, only 3 are known to be used for this.

Fact# 4: The Phantasmal poison frog secretes a chemical called Epibatidine, a painkiller hundreds of times more potent than morphine (with more severe side effects though)
