Orange Poison Dart Frog photograph
Today’s featured art is Orange Poison Dart Frog by Lee Hancock
Yikes! These poison dart frogs sure have bright color… But, boy are they deadly! These orange frogs are the most deadly species.
It is a great photo of these Golden Poison Arrow Frogs. The puffy little orange bodies with one frog looking out of it’s black eye at you, makes a cute print. And… Looking at a print is about as close as I wanna get to these deadly little guys.
The photographer says:
(Phyllobates terribilis) The most poisonous organism on the planet. A Female Golden Poison Arrow Frog from Colombia, South America. This amphibian is about 1 inch in length. The skin of an adult P. terribilis has enough batrachotoxin to kill 20,000 mice, or 100 adult humans. Two-tenths of a microgram of batrachotoxin is lethal in the human blood stream and each adult P. terribilis contains nearly 200 micrograms.
Prices for Orange Poison Dart Frog begin at $40.00, subject to change.
