Poison Dart Frog
Many other frog species camouflage themselves in the wild, but the poison dart frog uses its brightly colored skin to warn predators that it is unfit to eat. The frog's skin secretes a dangerous poison that can paralyze and even kill predators. Climate change and habitat loss threaten their survival. WWF is working to ensure that their Amazon forest habitat remains intact.
