Strawberry poison dart frog

 The 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧-𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠 or 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠 (𝐎𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨, formerly 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨) is a species of 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠 found in 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚.It is common throughout its range, which extends from 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚 through 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐚 and 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐚. The species is often found in 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 and 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭, but 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 are also found in 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 such as 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.The strawberry poison frog is 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 for its 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, comprising approximately 𝟏𝟓–𝟑𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐬, most of which are presumed to be 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞-𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

The 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐭 of 𝐎. 𝐩𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨 causes the 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 of the amphibian to become 𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜 in nature when certain 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 of 𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬 and 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 are 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 very similar to many other poison dart frogs.𝐎𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨 is 𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 and 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥, and can often be found in 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 in both 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 and 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬. Though 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 and 𝐭𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜, these frogs are 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, growing to approximately 𝟏𝟕.𝟓–𝟐𝟐 𝐦𝐦 in 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡.
