Poison+Dart+Frog-+Laura+T.

The poison dart frog lives in the rainforests of Central and Latin America. They have a gestation period of 14 days. They lay their eggs in pools of water and then stay with them to protect them. Poison dart frogs eat insects and the only animal that can eat it is the liophis ephinephlus (a snake immune to the poison of the dart frog.) The frogs gain their poison from their diet, it is not a natural poison, but acquired so these animals may not have always been poisonous. =Poison Dart Egg= The only threat to the poison dart frog from another animal is the liophis ephinepius due to the toxicity of this animal. Since this is not a severe threat, the larger issue for this animal is the destruction of it's rainforest habitat. Many types of arrow frog are facing a severe decline in population. This loss of habitat is caused by humans burning or cutting down trees to clear the land for agriculture or cattle.This animal's IUCN status is 3.1 (least concern) however it should not have to be on this scale at all. This IUCN status means that it is not a high concern yet but may be one eventually. One group helping the frogs is SAVE THE FROGS! International. They travel around the United States and spread awareness about the poison dart frog. Poison Dart Baby Something I can do to help the poison dart frog, is to raise awareness of their condition. Another thing I would like to do is I can also raise money and donate it to the Save The Frogs fund which will then go on to help the frogs, more specifically to save their habitat.
