blue poison dart frog
the green-and-black poison dart frog, while not the most toxic poison dart frog, is still a highly toxic animal. the very small amount of poison the frog possesses is enough to make a human heart stop beating. however, like most poison dart frogs, the green-and-black poison dart frog only releases its poison if it feels threatened, and wild specimens can be handled provided the human holding it is calm and relaxed. the green-and-black poison dart frog, as with all poison dart frogs, loses its toxicity in captivity due to a change in diet. this has led some scientists to believe that the green-and-black poison frog actually takes its poison from the mites and other insects on which it feeds.
