Deep in the rainforests of Colombia, a tiny creature hops through the leaf litter, its bright yellow skin standing out against the green jungle. It has no fangs, no claws, and no need to run. Its power lies in its skin-a deadly poison so strong that a single frog carries enough to stop ten grown humans.
This book takes young readers into the fascinating world of one of nature’s most toxic animals. From its small but powerful presence in the rainforest to the way it absorbs its poison from the insects it eats, this incredible amphibian is full of surprises. Scientists have studied its venom to unlock medical secrets, conservationists have fought to protect its shrinking habitat, and indigenous cultures have long understood its potency.
Readers will discover how this frog survives without natural predators, why its poison is one of the deadliest substances on Earth, and how its presence-or disappearance-can change an entire ecosystem. Packed with science, history, and real-world discoveries, this is the ultimate guide to one of the most untouchable creatures in the wild. Perfect for curious minds who want to explore the mysteries of the rainforest and the hidden power of its smallest inhabitants.
