Not all frogs shown here are poisonous - but those that are belong to the group of the most poisonous animals in the world! Most poisonous animal is not a snake or a spider. It is a beautiful little frog! Most frogs let out the poison through their skin, but poison dart frogs are the most dangerous of all. Golden dart poison frog is the most poisonous one in the world and the small animal can be toxic even when you touch it. A single dose of its venom is so deadly that it can kill as much as 20,000 mice or 10 adults, and therefore it is safe to say that the poison dart frogs from Central and South America are the most poisonous animals in the world.
"Their venom contains toxins that deaden the lethargic nerves and cause heart failure and disorders of the respiratory organs. Two tens of micrograms of this toxin is lethal if found in the man’s bloodstream, and this frog can produce up to 200 micrograms'.
