The Shape Shifting Rain Frog!


This is a newly found species discovered on the slopes of the western Andes. These creatures are amazing because it can shape its form into something else like an octopus to blend in the with its surroundings in its swamp like environment in under 5 minutes. This is the first vertebrate that can shape shift which is super cool.

When they hatch from their eggs the are instantly a frog skipping the tadpole stage because they live at deserts. On the top it will be a video of one vocalizing and on the bottom will be a funny music parody.

Poison Dart Frog

Poison Dart Frog

Though this frog may seem beautiful with its colors, 
It is one of the smallest and the most poisonous creatures
in the world. This frog holds enough venom to kill
10 grown men. The venom of this frog has been used
In blow darts and dart guns by Columbia for years. 
Scientists are not exactly sure of how the blue dart frog
is so toxic, but some can assume that it comes from
Its prey such as ants, termites, and beetles. This idea has
truth because most of the poison dart frogs raised
in captivity do not develop any venom.
