Note: The pic (top left) is of a frog that was purchased as a juvenile Orange P. terribilis but actually I believe it to be an Orange P. bicolor. Also, it has been suggested that the P. tertibilis toxins are used by various South American tribes to tip their darts for hunting and warfare, hence the name Poison Dart Frogs. Also sounds are from the N. American swamps and not from the rainforest.
