What color is strawberry poison-dart frog?
The strawberry poison-dart frog (Oophaga pumilio) can be found in the tropical forests of Central America. It is known for the dangerous alkaloid toxin extruded by its skin. The toxic effects are largely the result of the frog's diet, as it incorporates chemicals produced by Brachymyrmex ants and Brachypylina mites. Isolated populations of strawberry poison-dart frog have evolved widely-varying skin colors, though most are still bright as a warning to predators.
