Facts
The Poison Arrow Frog has a red and blue light color that is a warning that it is one of the most poisonous frogs in the world.

Only one snake can eat the poison arrow frog because it’s immune to the toxins.

The father frog carries the young tadpoles on his back and protects them in its habitat.

Their shelter is a tree growing plant with a small puddle at the bottom where the father keeps the tadpoles.
