*********NEW ARRIVALS***********
Poison dart frogs

We recently welcomed 2 species of poison dart frog:
6 Yellow banded (Denodrobates leucomelas)
4 Green and black (Dendrobates auratus)

There are over 170 species of poison dart frog and while all of them produce toxins only 4 species are actually used to tip blow darts, a practice used by Aboriginal South Americans from where the species gets its name.
The most poisonous of all the dart frogs is the Golden poison dart frog which has enough poison to kill 20,000 mice and up to 20 people. The poison causes heart failure and leads to death with 10 minutes, there is no cure!

Luckily for our keepers, captive born poison dart frogs are completely harmless as the frogs don’t produce their own toxins. They acquire them by eating specific insects in the wild, who in turn have consumed toxic plants and fungi.

A group of frogs is called an “army” and our army can be found in the reptile house.
