Save the Dyeing Poison Frog

Hi everyone! Let me talk about the Dyeing Poison Frog. Look the description         

Often said to be the most alluring of all frog species, the dying poison frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) has bright colouration that is thought to function as a warning to predators that it is poisonous. The dyeing poison frog is often royal blue, fading into an attractive sky blue background, peppered with both large and small black spots. Its underside is similarly patterned, and may also sport a darker stripe down the centre. 

This incredible animal has to face some threats...Look at them!

        Population numbers of the dyeing poison frog are now relatively stable. However, this species previously suffered due to over-collection for the pet trade, and although it breeds easily in captivity, illegal collection may still continue. Habitat loss due to destruction of its rain forest habitat is also a potential threat to the dyeing poison frog
