Green-and-black poison dart frogs were born in the Debrecen Zoo and Theme Park one and a half months ago.
Dendrobates auratus is a brightly colored member of the order Anura native to Central America and northwestern parts of South America.
The green-and-black poison frog, while not the most toxic poison dart frog, is still a highly toxic animal. The very small amount of poison the frog possesses is still enough to make a human ill. Like most poison dart frogs, however, the green-and-black poison dart frog will only release its poison if it feels that it is threatened, and wild specimens can be handled if the human holding it is calm and relaxed.
