About

At 5-6 cm it is the largest dendrobatid, and occurs in orange, yellow and mint colour forms. Wild frogs sequester batrachotoxin; the human lethal dose is estimated at 0.1-0.3 mg, and indigenous hunters coated blowgun darts with the secretion, which gave the group its Japanese name. Its range covers less than 5,000 square kilometres and habitat loss has made it Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Frogs have exceeded 20 years under ideal care, with about 10 years typical.
