Small but spectacular, the tricolored arrow frog is one of the most colorful amphibians in Central and South America. It is recognized by its vibrant hues—blue, yellow, and black—which signal to predators that it is poisonous.
Surprisingly, despite its tiny size, it secretes a powerful substance that has earned it the nickname "poison frog." Indigenous peoples once used this toxin to coat their hunting arrows. Today, its observation fascinates scientists, as its bright colors are also a perfect example of "visual warning" in nature. An insectivore, it feeds on ants, termites, and other small invertebrates.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the tricolor arrow frog: finely sculpted skin, vibrant colors, and dynamic posture. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exotic adventures, or educate children about the richness and amazing strategies of the amphibian world.
