Cool Facts About Animals

Golden Poison Dart Frog


Listen Later

Happy Summer! On this episode, we are talking about a sunny-colored frog, which happens to be one of the most toxic animals in the world – the golden poison dart frog.  We discuss the difference between venomous and toxic, how many humans one of these tiny frogs can kill with one touch, and their surprisingly social nature.  Plus: can you guess which sound comes from a poison dart frog? (Jaguar does a pretty good imitation!)

We are on summer vacation, and so likely won’t be publishing on our usual schedule.  But we will be back soon with our next episode!

Thanks as always to Andrew of the awesome podcast Ear Snacks for our theme music!
