Three-color poison dart frog figurine

Small but spectacular, the tricolored poison dart frog is one of Central and South America's most colorful amphibians. It is recognized by its vivid hues – blue, yellow, and black – which signal to predators that it is toxic.

Surprisingly, despite its minuscule size, it secretes a potent substance that earned it the nickname "poison frog." Indigenous peoples once used this toxin to coat their hunting arrows. Today, its observation fascinates scientists, as its vibrant colors are also a perfect example of "visual warning" in nature. An insectivore, it feeds on ants, termites, and other small invertebrates.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the tricolored poison dart frog: finely sculpted skin, vibrant colors, and a dynamic posture. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exotic adventures, or educate children about the richness and astonishing strategies of the amphibian world.
