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://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/4B3E7568-DC9D-498F-99D0-0EBAD1EFD1F6" 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">Frogs of the <EM>Dendrobatidae</EM> (meaning ‘tree walker’) family walk a different path than most: they use bright colours to advertise their presence to the world. They rely on the fact that most predators recognize such colouring as a signal that the animal contains a deadly poison, and thus is not at all palatable. Many species contain alkaloids in their skin – a group of plant chemicals. </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://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/3F6AA978-CBCC-45AE-9D5A-2B615BAFFDA9" 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"> bizarre result of this is that frogs raised in captivity and deprived of their normal diet grow up to be completely harmless</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://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/3A6CE3D5-7D79-4DE7-9CC0-93FD93529DFB" alt="strawberry1" /></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://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/1E2A92FE-211F-4F12-B456-53B6541261F7" alt="golden" /></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/00881EF0-F092-443A-A54B-CF7621C20DDF" alt="black/green" /></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://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/1B101280-1A2A-4879-A36E-CF662B987EE1" alt="blue2" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FEC88A7F-0206-4DB0-BC6D-7AA60732E39F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
