Description
Found this little critter on a recent trip with my grandson to the Kansas City Zoo.
He is known as a "Blue Dart Frog". They live in the tropics of Central and South America.
The Dart Frog gets its' name from the fact that natives have used their poisonous toxins on the tips of their arrows and blow darts for hundreds of years. Their brilliant color warns potential predators to leave them alone or suffer the consequences.
Thanks for looking. Please open this up to a full-sized view.

I've heard of them but never actually seen one until now. What an intriguing creature. Thank you for posting it.
Who's watching who here?
Wow, what a really cool looking creature! I love that wild blue metallic color. Great shot!
Like they're tough little critters :) Are they poisonous at all? Cool looking blue frog ... what a great honor it must feel to get his picture :)
Fantastic work.
Gorgeous work.
Beautiful little critter....great capture, I'm sure he's just posing
I dare say brilliant color indeed. Excellent - thanks for the write up too!
This is cool, thx to share.
It certainly wants to be noticed! Grand shot and no glass glare!? Good one, Rob
I've seen them only on TV. Great shot and info.
Wonderful capture! He looks innocent enough. I found a green Pacific Treefrog in our pond the other day. He hasn't come out again so I can get his picture, though. Maybe he's camera-shy. I have heard of this variety of frog, but never saw one of the little critters before. Interesting image!
Why so blue. Excellent photo.
A very beautiful macro shot ! ! ! Amazing frog, and a very great work !!! 5++++++ :)
This is absolutely gorgeous! The capture…
Neat shot, and great colors here. Very informative to see this is the frog that the poison darts originate from.
Beautiful color! Great shot!
Great shot! You don't see those everyday. Thanks for the comment on my lunar Eclipse. Have a great weekend.
Oh my god thats a Gorgeous capture, send it to National Geographic and maybe in couple month we will see it there... ;-)
