Interesting Facts
Not all beautiful frogs here are poisonous, but those who are - can be very deadly indeed. The most poisonous animal is not a snake or a spider. It's a beautiful little frog! "Most frogs produce skin toxins, but the dart poison frogs from Central and South America are the most potent of all. The golden poison frog, called terribilis (the terrible), is so toxic that even touching it can be dangerous. A single terribilis contains enough poison to kill 20,000 mice or 10 people. It is probably the most poisonous animal on Earth."

Paul tells me that there is a HUGE, HUGE frog in our water feature in the backyard. I haven't seen it but the dogs are certainly interested. They run back there at the speed of light when we let them out.
