which limits their consumption typically to unfertilized eggs only. Thus, it can be assumed that the cannibalistic tendencies of Dendrobates is limited to their lifetime as a tadpole and does not cross over into their adult life. Aggressive behavior and territoriality The Dendrobatidae are a family of species very well known for their territorial and aggressive behavior not only as tadpoles, but as adults too. These aggression behaviors were not only limited to males, as many female Dendrobatidae also are known to defend their own native territory very aggressively. These areas that were being defended aggressively by Dendrobatidae were typically found to be regions that served as male calling sites. In fact, the males were seen wrestling with intruders of their territory in order to defend their calling sites as well as their vegetation. The different ways in which Dendrobatidae defended their own territories included physical combat and aggression. While vocalization and various behavioral displays served as a way of exhibiting one's strength or fitness, territorial disputes and fights led to physical combat and aggression at times too. Physical violence and aggression is particularly common at times of calling. If it was seen that an intruder was making calls in the territory of a Dendrobatidae frog then the resident frog would attempt to eliminate the competition to claim the territory and the females in it to himself. The resident frog would initially try to make its presence known by the means of vocalization and various behavioral displays as a way to exert dominance. If this did not scare away the intruder, then the resident frog would move towards the intruder and strike them. This encounter would immediately escalate into a full on fight where both are striking each other and grasping each other's limbs. Similarly, the females also often would get into fights and display aggressive behaviors in disputes over territory or a mating conflict. It was also observed that females who were going after the same male, after hearing their call, would chase each other down and wrestle to fight for the male. After a female courts with a male, they are also very likely to exhibit aggressive behavior towards any females that approach that male. Both the males and females bought their own respective sexes for each other in a fairly similar fashion. Mating behavior Observations of the Dendrobatidae family suggest that males of the species would typically
