@allcreatureslearning: This blue color isn't for camouflage. It is an evolutionary defense mechanism called Aposematism. Instead of hiding, the Blue Poison Dart Frog uses bright coloration to warn predators of its toxicity. These frogs sequester potent alkaloids from the specific ants and mites they eat in the Amazon and secrete the toxins through their skin. Scientific Fact: Because their toxicity is derived entirely from their diet, specimens raised in captivity are actually harmless! #animalfacts #bluepoisondartfrog #biology #evolution #sciencefacts
