The golden poison frog is considered the most toxic vertebrate on Earth.

These are less toxic and less abundant than the golden poison frog.

Puffer fish are thought to be the world's second deadliest vertebrate, after the golden poison frog.

Being immune to their own poison, golden poison frogs interact constantly with each other.

Pufferfish are generally believed to be the second most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog.

Golden poison frogs are social animals.

The golden poison frog, like most other poisonous frogs, stores its poison in skin glands.

One example of this would be the Phyllobates terribilis, also known as the Golden Poison frog.

Courtship for the golden poison frog is similar to that of the green and black poison dart frog.

Golden poison frog is a poison dart frog endemic to the Pacific coast of Colombia.

Phyllobates contains the most poisonous species of frog, the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis).

Golden poison frogs are notable for demonstrating tactile courtship during reproduction, each partner stroking its mate's head, back, flanks, and cloacal areas prior to egg deposition.

Exudations from the skin of the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis) are traditionally used by native Colombians to poison the darts they use for hunting.

The most poisonous of these frogs, the golden poison frog (Phyllobates terribilis), has enough toxin on average to kill ten to twenty men or about ten thousand mice.

While not as toxic as its larger relatives, the black-legged dart frog (neari) and golden poison frog, the Kokoe poison frog is still extremely poisonous.

Though all poison frogs lose their toxicity when deprived of certain foods, and captive-bred golden poison frogs are born harmless, a wild-caught poison frog can retain alkaloids for years.

Golden poison frogs are curious, bold, and seemingly aware of the fact that they are next to invulnerable, making no attempt to conceal themselves and actually flaunting their beautiful colours to intimidate potential predators.

The golden poison frog's skin is densely coated in alkaloid poison, one of a number of poisons common to dart frogs (batrachotoxins), which prevents nerves from transmitting impulses, leaving the muscles in an inactive state of contraction.

The golden poison frog is not venomous, but poisonous: venomous animals have a delivery method for the toxin, such as fangs or spines, while poisonous animals and plants do not have a delivery method and rely on transference of the toxin.

It is not clear which prey species supplies the potent alkaloid that gives golden poison frogs their exceptionally high levels of toxicity, or whether the frogs modify another available toxin to produce a more efficient variant, as do some of the frog's cousins from the genus Dendrobates.

It is uncertain precisely which arthropods lend their toxicity to which genus of Dendrobatidae, but one such arthropod is thought to have been identified as a possible source of the toxin for Dendrobatidae Phyllobates terribilis (aka the golden poison frog), and it is a local variant of the Melyrid beetle.
