Golden Poison Frog

One of the most toxic animals on Earth, the Golden Poison Frog can kill ten adult humans with just 1?mg of its poison. Interestingly, frogs raised in captivity and isolated from their native insect diet never develop venom. They are so toxic that they have few (if any) predators. Indigenous tribes in the Amazon use the toxin for hunting, and secretions from a single frog could kill two bull elephants.
