''Dendrobates tinctorius'' also known as the Dyeing Poison Dart Frog is a species that comes from the genus [[Dendrobates]]. Another name that it is referred to as is the Dyeing Poison Arrow Frog. The [[frog]], although not born with it, has a toxic poison that it can secrete. The frog gains the poison from what it eats. Certain [[insects]] that are in their diet have the poisons and the frog obtains the poison from them once it eats that insect. The Dyeing Dart Frog has a very unique color which shows predators that it is poisonous. The colors and patterns on each frog are different. For example some frogs might be black and yellow while others are black and green. The colors and patterns that they display are very unique and are not seen among other frogs. | ''Dendrobates tinctorius'' also known as the Dyeing Poison Dart Frog is a species that comes from the genus [[Dendrobates]].

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 Dart Frogs like humid habitats.[[http://cis127.info/~allbright/dangerous_frogs/black.html]] | Dyeing Dart Frogs are native to South America's tropical [[rainforests]].

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]] | Dyeing Dart Frogs have a toxic substance that their skin is able to secrete.
