The Most Poisonous Frog on Earth

One of the most poisonous frog is Golden Poison Dart Frog (Phyllobates terribilis). A mature frog measuring 5 cm has enough venom to kill 10 grown men. They have bright yellow body-color that intimidate their enemy to avoid them.
Their skin coated by alkaloid poison that prevents nerves to transmitting impulses, leaving the muscles inactive and can lead to heart failure. The poison is produced by glands in the frog's skin. This frog can be found in the forest in Central America. The only natural predator for this frog is Leimadophis epinephelus, a snake that has developed a resistance to the frog's poison.
