Golfodulcean Poison Frog

Description:

Some golfodulcean poison frogs at the Tulsa Zoo. Dart frogs are possibly my favorite amphibians. While it is only the fourth-most toxic of the genus, the Golfodulcean poison frog is still a highly toxic animal. Its poison causes severe pain, followed by tonic-clonic seizures and paralysis if a large enough dose of the toxin is administered. Fortunately captive versions do not have these toxins as it may be a result of their diet.

Habitat:

Endemic to Costa Rica, this dart frog is Endangered due to habitat loss.
