Our journey begins with the most toxic of all poisonous frogs, and perhaps the most poisonous animal in the world, the golden poison frog. Even its scientific name, Phyllobates terribilis, shows that small things can be incredibly harmful.
The poison it carries is derived from its diet, and depending on location and specific foods, the average wild golden poison frog produces enough poison to kill 10 humans.Despite having this staggeringly powerful self-defense, it is still an endangered species with decreasing population due to habitat loss and pollution.
