Amazing Creatures Part 1 - Yellow-Banded Poison Dart Frog

in animals •  7 years ago 

Hello folks,

I started researching about beautiful and rare creatures, I decided to start a series and share the digest of my research with you here, I hope you like it,

for the 1st post of this series, I want to write about my today's finding about Yellow-Banded Poison Dart Frog,

It is so beautiful, but:

  • They have a toxic skin, but yet beautiful and shiny

  • Their females are physically bigger than males

  • They mostly east insects, ants, different spider types and some of them also eat wee bugs, as a matter of fact ant is one of the sources of their toxic

  • It takes between 10-14 days for their eggs to hatch

  • unlike some other frogs who can leave up to 15 years, this type of frog can leave up to 7 years and study shows they normally live 5 to 7 year.

And by the way, did you know that people used to use the poison of Yellow-Banded Poison Dart Frog as poison on their arrows and in their blow darts?
