Dyeing Dart | Dyeing Dart Frogs are native to South America's tropical rainforests. This type of frog likes the ground and tends to stay there, but can be found on vines that hang close to the ground. Dyeing Dart Frogs are shy so they can usually be found under a log or around dead leaves.[[http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/showAnimals.asp?id=203]] They are also found near water.

Dyeing | Dyeing Dart Frogs have a toxic substance that their skin is able to secrete. Although they secrete it they don't actually make the toxin. The insects that they eat have the toxins in them so they gain the poison through what they eat. They are not born with the toxins. Instead, they gain them as they grow older. They usually use this substance when predators threaten them. [[http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/showAnimals.asp?id=203]] | ||
