World's Most beautiful & Most deadly ANIMALS: Golden Poison Dart Frog
Golden Frog si considered one of the most toxic animals on Earth. A single specimen measuring two inches (five centimeters) has enough venom to kill ten to twenty grown men or enough to kill about 10,000 mice.
Indigenous Emberá people of Colombia have used its powerful venom for
centuries to tip their blowgun darts when hunting, hence the species'
name.
Their diet includes flies, crickets, ants, termites, and beetles. The only natural predator of the golden poison dart frog is Leimadophis epinephelus, a snake that has developed a resistance to the frog's poison.
