I'm afraid the irony here isn't just limited to frogs.

The ability to evade the wary eyes of a predator by blending into the surrounding environment has arisen again and again within the animal kingdom – and with some necessity. But there are some critters that blatantly waive this rule, and though they look good enough to eat, some of them can kill you with a single touch. These are the famous poison arrow frogs of South and Central America.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/the-cutest-and-deadliest-frogs-on-earth/12651"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/E1EB1DB7-DCD7-4177-89D0-2113849A0E94" alt="blue1" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/the-cutest-and-deadliest-frogs-on-earth/12651"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/F8BD5351-2F24-4952-A7C7-3476F7480D6F" alt="Fingers" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/the-cutest-and-deadliest-frogs-on-earth/12651"><P>A bizarre result of this is that frogs raised in captivity and deprived of their normal diet grow up to be completely harmless.
