Deadliest frog on earth
Don't judge a lady by her body 1 . Granular poison frog The granular poison frog is found in Costa Rica and Panama, and has a bright red body that serves as a warning for its toxicity. Despite its bright colors and built-in protection system, it is listed as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and degradation from agriculture, logging and human settlement. It is also captured for the pet trade but the extent of capture isn't known. For these frogs, like many species, humans are a bigger threat than predators. credit : Brian Gratwicke 2 . Lovely poison frog The lovely poison frog is also known as the striped poison frog. Native to Central America, this is one of the least toxic of the Phyllobates genus (but is still in the most toxic genus of poison frogs). Though it indeed looks lovely, it is still deadly. It can hold enough toxin to cause heart failure in predators that try to eat it. credit : Drriss & Marrionn 3 . Strawberry
