Poison arrow frogs are in the class of amphibians. They can be found in the rain forests, but only in Central and South America where they like to stay on the floor of the  forests in moist and shady places.   They are extremely small, most only  1/2  to 1 inch in length. They  have brilliant and various colors. For example, they can be green or blue with black patches and  also have flash colors, which are exposed when the animal jumps. These colors warn other animals that the frog is not fit to eat. The Sanctuary with be home to several species, including "Bumble Bee Frogs" .The poison arrow frog has special skin, it secrets poisons which can kill other animals.  The biggest environmental change for the poison arrow frog is that rain forests are being cut down, which means there is no home for the frog. Another environmental change for the poison arrow frog is the decreasing of the ozone. This is very important to them because they have extremely sensitive skin and the ultra violet rays are damaging their skin. Visit BMBS and get an up-close look at these little beauties while they still exist.
