Dyeing Poison Dart Frog
The dyeing poison dart frog is known for its vivid coloration, so much so that two frogs of the same species are sometimes considered as subspecies. Some tribes pluck the feather from their pet parrots and rub these frogs on the bird’s back. The toxicity of the frog is so high that the touch causes the parrots to grow colorful feathers.
