Mostly found in the Amazonian forest, blue dart frogs ― also known as poison frogs ― range from 1 inch to 2 1/2 inches in length. The frog’s skin secretes an alkaloid that can paralyze and even kill predators. The primary threat to poison dart frogs are forest fires, and the logging and clearing of the rainforests where they live. Deforestation leaves a hotter, drier terrain that provides no place or food for them.
