Golden dart frogs are typically found in the Colombian rainforest and are smaller than 2in/ 5cm. Poison is secreted from the frog’s skin and can remain deadly on an object for 1-2 years. Because of this, Indigenous communities would use the poison on the tips of darts or arrows.

Most frogs produce skin toxins, but the poison dart frogs from Central and South America are the most potent.
